--- Comment #22 from Olivier Duchateau <duchateau.olivier@gmail.com> ---
Just to be clear, security/gnome-keyring >= 48.x works fine with LightDM.

I use it daily with x11/gnome-flashback and LightDM.

1. gnome-keyring PAM module needs to be enabled (see comment #0)

2. the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable needs to be defined (it must be a
subdirectory of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR)

The best way to define this variable, is to load ~/.xprofile. I explain how to
do in this post [1]. Otherwise modify
/usr/local/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/gnome-keyring.portal (adjust the
line UseIn=).

For x11/gnome-shell or x11/gnome-shell-extensions, it is different. This the
GNOME XDG portal which takes care of gnome-keyring.
