Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with docker login on Ubuntu 18.04 and inspect the Docker CLI credential-saving path involved after credentials are entered. The payload names no files or tests; done means identifying the cause of the org.freedesktop.secrets timeout and establishing a verified fix or documented resolution.
