What applications provide org.freedesktop.secrets.service

While trying out google-chrome dev and beta channels' latest version (25), I was getting a segmentation fault problem causing Chrome to crash, right after showing a message informing that it was unable to locate a .service file that provides org.freedesktop.secrets.service. This problem was solved by either adding the flag --password-store=basic to use un-encrypted passwords or by installing and starting gnome-keyring.

Is there an alternative to gnome-keyring to use with google-chrome (and optionally ssh-agent) in xfce 4.10?

GNOME Keyring implements the Freedesktop Secret Service standard. The only alternative that I know of is KDE's ksecretsservice. I'm not sure how complete it is; this is the code repository. It seems to be packaged in the experimental Kubuntu PPA.

Now there is also KeepassXC which provides a Freedesktop Secret Service implementation.

secret-service implements Secret Service API (org.freedesktop.secrets.service)
