Description:
When using GNOME-Keyring and seahorse, triggering a password change is not changing the `Login` keyring password.

GNOME's docs states that for this feature to work, a change on `/etc/pam.d/passwd` is needed - but that is not included on Arch's gnome-keyring package.

For reference, a similar issue was reported in the past for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-keyring/+bug/416825

See:
* https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring/Pam
* https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring/Pam/Manual

Additional info:
* package version(s): gnome-keyring 1:3.36.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a user with a password on Gnome.
2. Open seahorse and ensure you have a "Login" keyring. If it asks for any password, give it the same as you gave for the user.
3. Lock that keyring.
4. Trigger a password change (go to terminal and type passwd)
5. Open seahorse and unlock the "Login" keyring
6. It will ask the password. It should work with the new password, but it will only work with the old one.
This task depends upon

The fix for this issue is described here: https://garajau.com.br/2020/09/synchronize-user-pass-changes-on-gnome-keyring

I'd love to contribute with a fix but I would need some help sending a patch because it would require a change to /etc/pam.d/passwd, and I'm not confident on how to do that properly.
