keyrings.alt is a collection of alternative backends split off from the Python keyring library. It contains backends that were removed from the main package because they are less secure or hard to maintain, such as plaintext files, encrypted files, the Windows registry, and Gnome/KDE stores. It is meant for server or container environments where the operating system's default key store cannot be used, but plaintext storage is insecure.
