<para>Keyring is a password management system available in OpenStack.
You can install it using the following command:</para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>pip install keyring</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>Keyring is used only if <parameter>--os-use-keyring</parameter>

<para>To avoid storing the password in plain text, you can prompt for the
OpenStack password interactively. Then, the keyring can store the password
and the user can safely retrieve it from their keyring. The encrypted password
is stored in the <filename>~/.openstack-keyring.cfg</filename> file.</para>
