Description
+1
happens for me on my mac with M1. It seems he doesn't find the backend, but it exists.
The fix was to use pip install keyrings.alt so it installs an alternative backend, but I can't see the entered password on the keychain, it seems independent from the system keychain, which is annoying.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing-backend behavior on a Mac with an M1 processor, then compare the normal backend with the keyrings.alt workaround. The issue does not name files or tests; done would mean the intended backend is discovered and credentials use the system keychain rather than an independent store.
