No, I'm sure.

(secrets-get-alias "default")
=> nil

(secrets-list-collections)
=> ("session" "Login")

We use "Login" in many of the examples.  I wanted a collection that may
actually have entries from other programs.  It's just puzzling that
"login" worked until recently and seahorse still says "login".
