Before I am asked to set my keyring password there is a popup that says "password". But I'm not sure what to fill-out here. Is this the token again? It is unlikely to be my ixplorer password, but I'm not sure.

This password is directly related to your computer credential system.

When a new keyring is created the package asks to set this password in case you later want to lock your keyring. This means that the password would be requiered everytime you want to access an specific value (e.g. your user, project and repo).
So if someone else where to use your computer, then they would need this password to see the your info.

When running keyring_unlock(), for example, the package will ask for this password.

However, we can include this in the authentication gadget as well if needed #72
