+## Define a password schema
+
+Each stored password has a set of attributes which are later
+used to lookup the password. The names and types of the attributes
+are defined in a schema. The schema is usually defined once globally.
+Here's how to define a schema:
+
+```js
+const Secret = imports.gi.Secret;
+
+/* This schema is usually defined once globally */
+const EXAMPLE_SCHEMA = new Secret.Schema.new("org.example.Password",
+ Secret.SchemaFlags.NONE,
+ {
+ "number": Secret.SchemaAttributeType.INTEGER,
+ "string": Secret.SchemaAttributeType.STRING,
+ "even": Secret.SchemaAttributeType.BOOLEAN,
+ }
+);
+```
+
+See the [other examples](#store-a-password) for how
+to use the schema.
+
+## Store a password
+
+Here's how to store a password in the running secret service,
+like gnome-keyring or ksecretservice.
+
+Each stored password has a set of attributes which are later
+used to lookup the password. The attributes should not contain
+secrets, as they are not stored in an encrypted fashion.
+
+These examples use the [example schema](#define-a-password-schema).
+
+This first example stores a password asynchronously, and is
+appropriate for GUI applications so that the UI does not block.
+
+```js
+const Secret = imports.gi.Secret;
+
+function on_password_stored(source, result) {
+ Secret.password_store_finish(result);
+ /* ... do something now that the password has been stored */
+}
+
+/*
+ * The attributes used to later lookup the password. These
+ * attributes should conform to the schema.
+ */
+var attributes = {
+ "number": "8",
+ "string": "eight",
+ "even": "true"
+};
+
+Secret.password_store(EXAMPLE_SCHEMA, attributes, Secret.COLLECTION_DEFAULT,
+ "The label", "the password", null, on_password_stored);
+```
+
+This next example stores a password synchronously. The function
+call will block until the password is stored. So this is appropriate for
+non GUI applications.
+
+```js
+const Secret = imports.gi.Secret;
+
+/*
+ * The attributes used to later lookup the password. These
+ * attributes should conform to the schema.
+ */
+var attributes = {
+ "number": "9",
+ "string": "nine",
+ "even": "false"
+};
+
+Secret.password_store_sync(EXAMPLE_SCHEMA, attributes, Secret.COLLECTION_DEFAULT,
+ "The label", "the password", null);
+```
+
+## Lookup a password
+
+Here's how to lookup a password in the running secret service,
+like gnome-keyring or ksecretservice.
+
+Each stored password has a set of attributes which are
+used to lookup the password. If multiple passwords match the
+lookup attributes, then the one stored most recently is returned.
+
+These examples use the [example schema](#define-a-password-schema).
+
+This first example looks up a password asynchronously, and is
+appropriate for GUI applications so that the UI does not block.
+
+```js
+const Secret = imports.gi.Secret;
+
+function on_password_lookup(source, result) {
+ var password = Secret.password_lookup_finish(result);
+ /* password will be null if no matching password found */
+}
+
+/* The attributes used to lookup the password should conform to the schema. */
+Secret.password_lookup(EXAMPLE_SCHEMA, { "number": "8", "even": "true" },
+ null, on_password_lookup);
+```
+
+This next example looks up a password synchronously. The function
+call will block until the lookup completes. So this is appropriate for
+non GUI applications.
+
+```js
+const Secret = imports.gi.Secret;
+
+/* The attributes used to lookup the password should conform to the schema. */
+var password = Secret.password_lookup_sync(EXAMPLE_SCHEMA,
+ { "number": "8", "even": "true" },
+ null);
+
+/* password will be null, if no matching password found */
+```
+
+
+## Remove a password
+
+Here's how to remove a password from the running secret service,
+like gnome-keyring or ksecretservice.
+
+Each stored password has a set of attributes which are
+used to find which password to remove. If multiple passwords match the
+attributes, then the one stored most recently is removed.
+
+These examples use the [example schema](#define-a-password-schema).
+
+This first example removes a password asynchronously, and is
+appropriate for GUI applications so that the UI does not block.
+
+```js
+const Secret = imports.gi.Secret;
+
+function on_password_clear(source, result) {
+ var removed = Secret.password_clear_finish(result);
+ /* removed will be true if the password was removed */
+}
+
+/* The attributes used to lookup which password to remove should conform to the schema. */
+Secret.password_clear(EXAMPLE_SCHEMA, { "number": "8", "even": "true" },
+ null, on_password_clear);
+```
+
+This next example removes a password synchronously. The function
+call will block until the removal completes. So this is appropriate for
+non GUI applications.
+
+```js
+const Secret = imports.gi.Secret;
+
+/* The attributes used to lookup which password to remove should conform to the schema. */
+var removed = Secret.password_clear_sync(EXAMPLE_SCHEMA,
+ { "number": "8", "even": "true" },
+ null);
+
+/* removed will be true if the password was removed */
+```
