Comment 39 for bug 686690

There's some fallout in bug 752282, and I was rereading this bug, and saw

> 2. A new method will be created for applications that will never be run as a cronjob. I would like to call this method just plain "login", but we could call it "login_for_interactive" or something like that. This method will use the keyring exclusively, or almost exclusively.

It looks like this has not been done in trunk; please don't do it. I can't think of a realistic case where an application would prefer to fail if it's not running on a desktop with a working keyring. I can see how some _users_ would want to never have unencrypted tokens on disk, but as pitti discussed above, those people are far better off just encrypting their disk, and they are very likely already doing so.
