+
+GNOME Keyring used to be able to act as a wrapper over
+@command{ssh-agent}.  It would display a graphical password entry
+dialog, including a checkbox to remember the password, which, if
+selected, would allow fully passwordless use of that key.
+
+The SSH functionality is disabled by default in
+@command{gnome-keyring-daemon} builds since version
+@uref{https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-keyring/-/commit25c5a1982467802fa12c6852b03c57924553ba73,
+1.46}.  It has been
+@uref{https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gcr/-/merge_requests/67, moved}
+into @command{gcr-ssh-agent}, which is part of the @code{gcr} package.
+
+To enable the SSH agent functionality it is sufficient to add the
+following to your Home configuration.
+
+@lisp
+(use-modules (gnu home services gnome) ;for 'home-gcr-ssh-agent-service-type'
+             @dots{})

+      @dots{}
