I see, this would eliminate random apps from just grabbing the passwords anytime (though they can still poll if they are open). If I choose the auto-lock, I will have to enter password to the keyring often (depending on the time and how many apps need a password). Isn’t then more convenient AND more secure to use a password manager anyway? Apps can’t access my password from the password manager like they do from the keyring, so I could set longer auto-lock delay than the keyring and still be more secure and more convenient, right? Am I oversimplyfying too much? 😀

There are many options to consider. You could use a very short timeout and optimize for low friction unlock, such as with a thumb reader. My advice, if you have an app you want to use that requires the keyring then use the keyring with it. In general, I say use a password manager.
