Description
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
- I have searched the FAQ and general documentation and believe that my question is not already covered.
Feature Request
It would be great if, like pip (https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/11589, docs), poetry supported using keyring found on $PATH as a CLI tool. This would allow for setups where a user has configured keyring globally rather than needing to bootstrap it into all their virtualenvs.
For users who are using keyring with a separately packaged backend (e.g: for Windows, GCP, etc.) this could be particularly useful.

Research direction
Start by tracing Poetry’s existing keyring integration and how it invokes the keyring CLI, then compare the requested behavior with pip’s keyring CLI support and documentation. Done means Poetry can use a keyring executable found on $PATH, including setups with separately packaged backends, without requiring keyring in each virtualenv.
