> The Secret Service API [1] treats labels as unique keys for each
> secret item in a collection.  However, labels are not required to be
> unique in a collection [2], the attribute key/value pairs are.
>
> It is perfectly valid to have multiple secrets with the same label, in
> which case Emacs's Secret Service API is not able to retrieve all but
> the most recently created (?) secret.
>
> This can be demonstrated by creating two such secrets using the
> secret-tool utility:
>
> secret-tool store --label=Test1 id foo
> secret-tool store --label=Test1 id bar
>
> You can see how the attributes uniquely identify secrets:
>
> secret-tool store --label=Test2 id foo  # This overwrites the first secret.
>
> Implementation idea: Use attribute plists instead of label strings to
> uniquely identify secret items.
>
> This would require creating a new copy of the API to preserve backward
> compatibility.
