This is my idea to solve the problem quoted from the forums;

he way I see it Ubuntu is almost there, seahorse does ask permission just no confirmation. And we do have the tools like gconf. And policykit, witch can handle non-root permissions and IMO is way under used.

Here's my idea, create a sane list of default apps that can access seahorse. The ability to change that list through gconf, and permission checks through policykit for unexpected apps, changing info or viewing passwords. And finally come up with a unified personal security policy for the desktop as a whole. (See above post 182; you need your password to change your password and about me does not display clear text.)
