As you might already know, the keyring.backend.UncryptedFileKeyring will
store the password as in base64 format. If you are concerned about
security, but wouldn't wish to enter "keyring" password, you might use
openstackclient.common.openstackkeyring backend. As part of this patch, we
have written a keyring backend for openstack to store encrypted password in
keyring, withouth prompting for "keyring" password.
