keyring-pybridge

Usage

Install keyring-pybridge from pypi using pip install keyring-pybridge, or whatever alternative python package manager you prefer.

Then set environment variables to use the backend:

PYTHON_KEYRING_BACKEND=keyring_pybridge.PyBridgeKeyring

Or use the programmatic API:

import keyring
from keyring_pybridge import PyBridgeKeyring

keyring.set_keyring(PyBridgeKeyring())

WSL

The most useful application of this backend is when you are using keyring in a WSL environment, and would like to connect it to the host machine's Windows Credential Manager.

On the host machine, you need to create a python environment and install keyring in it.

Then, in WSL, configure the environment variable KEYRING_PROPERTY_PYTHON to point to the python executable with keyring installed:

KEYRING_PROPERTY_PYTHON=C:\path\to\the\right\python.exe
