Bug Description
With python-gnomekeyring you can get the "name" and the "secret" of a key.
But when you add LUKS passwords that are remembered forever in the gvfs-mount dialog for two or more identical harddrives (or other storage media I presume), there is a problem getting the secret manually.
GnomeKeyringIte
Name: Encryption passphrase for Seagate ST31000333AS (1.0 TB Hard Disk)
Secret: Password001
GnomeKeyringIte
Name: Encryption passphrase for Seagate ST31000333AS (1.0 TB Hard Disk)
Secret: Password002
Searching by name has multiple results, so you can no longer loop to find the related name. In this case you would want to get the details. If you check the Details-tab in Seahorse (AKA "Passwords and Keys" dialog), you'll see exactly what you need:
gvfs-luks-uuid: 5cf35067-
gvfs-luks-uuid: 7fe09d7a-
But how does Seahorse know this? I cannot get this from GnomeKeyringIte
