Windows keyring backend

The Windows Credential Locker is used by default by keyring. However, its password length limitations often prevent storing tokens. An alternative backend may resolve this limitation. When choosing a backend, be sure you are aware of its limitations.

keyrings.alt is an alternative keyring backend to consider:

python -m pip install keyrings.alt

Here is an example of how to set an alternative backend for keyring:

import keyring

keyring.core._config_path().parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
keyring.core._config_path().write_text(
    "[backend]\ndefault-keyring=keyrings.alt.Windows.EncryptedKeyring"
)
