Bug Description

It would be nice to be able to use the passwords stored in seahorse in other password store facilities, e.g. a keepass2 database. Currently the passwords are "lost" if one wants to switch the password storage mechanism (e.g. because keepass2 provides better synchronization with Android phones) in the sense that one has to copy and paste passwords by hand or write a script to do the transformation based on application internals and its data format which is too much effort for the average user.

An export function in the kdbx/KeePass2 XML format would be great.

I'm referring to seahorse 3.10.2 running on Ubuntu 14.04.

To date, this is the only thing which I have found which is able to dump the contents of gnome-keyring:

better than nothing, but not exactly what's requested.

I believe that the ability to import AND export its contents from/to a file in a few different standard formats (CSV, XML, etc) is an essential feature for any password manager.
