Need help with this keyring stuff

Hello. Today I was trying to sing in in VIsual Studio Code and I got this error message "No such interface“org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection”. Of course, the first thing I did was seek for some help in the Arch Wiki, and I found this section, which redirects me to a troubleshooting guide in the VScode page. There I found out I need an application like Gnome-Keyring in order to login to vscode, but I have no idea what a Keyring application is and if it is strictly necessary to install one. The guide gives an example of a keyring application like Gnome-Keyring, but the Arch Wiki says it is deprecated and replaced by libsecret, which I already ahve installed. As I'm still douting what to do, I like to hear what you did, or what you're recommendations are. Thanks.

Re: Need help with this keyring stuff

you need the keyring application that support libsecret, gnome-keyring is one of them, can also be kwallet (or even keepassxc with the setting enabled).
(applications with libsecret support use dbus to save and get passwords.)
