There are programs, which heavily depend on a password store. Not sure why they cannot live without it but if you get errors of the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'org.freedesktop.secrets': no such name
The error is the same as:
The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
The chances are you are using a graphical interface, which does not start a dbus service offering “DBus Secret Service API”.
The solution is to start a program or service offering a password store, which implements the “DBus Secret Service API” offering the name “org.freedesktop.secrets”.
The best and easy workaround in the environment, which do not offer such service is to use gnome-keyring-daemon from the package gnome-keyring.
Just install the package gnome-keyring and start “gnome-keyring-daemon”:
Under Ubuntu:
sudo apt install gnome-keyring gnome-keyring-daemon
CentOS 7 / Fedora
sudo yum install gnome-keyring gnome-keyring-daemon
Gentoo:
root@local ~$ emerge -v gnome-keyring root@local ~$ exit myuser@local ~$ gnome-keyring-daemon
And after the keyring daemon has started the program, which failed before, now it would start normally.
Even KDE uses KWallet, which at present does not support “DBus Secret Service API” and you may experience such behavior under KDE Plasma Desktop. Execute the program in the console to see the output (aka the errors).
We have encountered this error with the latest version of nagstamon under KDE Plasma Desktop (5.15.5):
myuser@my-desktop ~ $ nagstamon
