Many users wants to have less dependencies. I do not want to emerge gnome-keyring.
Given it's a binary package, it's unlikely this can be made optional.
The gnome-base/gnome-keyring is an RDEPEND of virtual/secret-service, which is a PDEPEND of app-crypt/libsecret, which the teams binary links against. virtual/secret-service can also be satisfied by app-admin/keepassxc, which may be more to your preference.
But I do not need any password manager integrated with the system.
(In reply to Vitaly Zdanevich from comment #3) > But I do not need any password manager integrated with the system. That is irrelevant to the point Emily made. It's linked against the binary hence needs it as it could call functions from it at any point. If you want this changed, ask Microsoft.
