 secrets provider

auth-source does not support saving secrets with the Secrets API
backend.  This reduces the usefulness of auth-source significantly
since keychains that provide secure secret storage using the API are
standard on many GNU/Linux distributions (e.g., gnome-keyring on
Ubuntu).

                    :create '(secret user host))
