My point exactly. If your web browser becomes borked, there go all your
passwords. If your disk becomes subtly corrupt, how many backups do you
have to go back in order to get things right, and how many new
passwords have gotten garbled? And how do you know which files to
restore, and how to incorporate them, if you back up your data but not
programs?

I'm not saying keyrings are useless, but they're not a panacea either.
