Applications like VSCode ("Code - OSS") like to store credentials there.

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/secret-service/latest/ seems to e very GNOME Keyring and KWallet centric.

Backend (daemon)

Both would draw in way too many dependencies. But there are lightweight alternatives such as

https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/pass-secrets/ (In FreeBSD Ports, could not use it yet due to the lack of documentation)
https://github.com/yousefvand/secret-service (Golang, secretserviced tested, working)

Frontend (GUI)

Do we need one at all?
