Get a key from a Wincred keyring

Description

Get a key from a Wincred keyring

Usage

b_wincred_get(self, private, service, username, keyring)

Arguments

service

Service name. Must not be empty.

username

Username. Might be empty. We check if the key is on the default keyring. If yes, we just return it. Otherwise check if the keyring is locked. If locked, then unlock it. Get the AES key from the keyring. Decrypt the key with the AES key. Additionally, users may specify an encoding to use when converting the password from a byte-string, for compatibility with other software such as python's keyring package. This is done via an option, or an environment variable.
