Description
Revisit https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_105#_list-keys-in-secretstorage
VS Code will expose the API to list all keys that an extension has stored in Secret Storage.
export function activate(context: ExtensionContext) {
const keys: string[] = await context.secrets.keys();
const value = await context.secrets.get(keys[0]); // a value that exists
}
We can use it to optimize the way we store / delete secrets.

Research direction
Start by locating the extension code that stores and deletes secrets, then review the SecretStorage API reference linked in the issue and the context.secrets.keys example. Determine how listing keys can simplify the current storage and deletion flow. Done means the secret-handling logic uses the available key list while preserving existing behavior.
