Libsecret is a GNOME project library that wraps the Secret Service D-Bus API, which stores and retrieves sensitive information such as passwords and tokens in the desktop's secret storage. It lets keyring implementations such as GNOME Keyring and KWallet be handled through a common interface. Git's credential helper git-credential-libsecret uses this library.
