This issue is still present in Ubuntu 15.10: Seahorse  to date still has
no option to export/import stored passwords.

This kinda hinders its abilities as a password manager: even if it's
probably meant to be mainly a gpg key management interface, it also has
this ability to store passwords, so not being able to export/import
those as well detracts from its usability forcing users to seek
alternative solutions.

Given that there has been no activity in this bug since 2014 (see
comment above), should eventually a new bug be opened tagging current
and future releases?

Title:
  Export of keys and keyrings is not available

Status in seahorse:
  New
Status in seahorse package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: seahorse

  When I try to export key or keyring, the menu is grayed out. Thus I
  cannot make backups of my keys.

  That would be only a inconvenience, if I could just backup keys by
  copying seahorse configuration directory. I guess I can do that, if
  only I knew, where it actually is. It is certainly NOT .gnupg, because
  when I delete it (in recovery mode, as root), the keys are still there
  and .gnupg folder is as good as new.

  It would be very nice to do something about this. When I made a
  keyring and put all my brand new passwords there, the seahorse somehow
  managed to lose all keys in it.
