That is how it was addressed when I first took over pam_keyring.
Pam_bio_api (relying on unix permissions for secrecy) had an embedded
pass-phrase in the BIR.  This allowed their pam-module to authenticate
on finger-print scan then populate the AUTHTOKEN of the pam stack with
the passphrase and pass it along to other pam modules.  Could be
implemented better, but has the correct idea.
