Description

The company I work for has multiple repositories stored in an internal JFrog (Docker Image Repsitory, PyPI, etc).
I've stored the credentials for the PyPI repository using pips build-in keyring compatibility.

When I run docker login the credential helper will overwrite the already configured credentials with a blob of data. This makes other tools useless, that are using keyring as intended.

What's the point of storing the credentials as JSON data in the first place?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the credential helper's storage and serialization path alongside the Docker login flow; the issue does not define a compatible format or a concrete done condition for preserving credentials used by other tools.
