Just spent a while debugging why gimme-aws-creds suddenly stopped working for me, and have narrowed it down to OscKernelKeyringBackend.get_password() returning _RetrieverFactory in the case of a non-existent password, as documented in osc.py. I installed osc for the first time on this machine recently and it apparently pulled in python310-keyring-keyutils.
Error, for search engines to find: TypeError: Object of type _PasswordRetriever is not JSON serializable
This behaviour is out of spec according to keyring's backend unit tests
Backends which don't have a password should only return None.
This breaks any program using keyring's default behaviour when no backend contains the password, because by default keyring sorts all backends by priority and tries them all in order.
