Does it actually require GNOME Keyring or does it just use libsecret? Because libsecret is dope and has been nothing but a joy to work with.

I've seen some examples of GNOME keyring being required because it implements the freedesktop secrets standard (which I admit to knowing nothing of) where other secret managers do not. Presumably meaning there us no common interface, so we just pick the one that implements the spec. One example:
