@GrantBirki Well, it's good that it worked out. That's why I don't use key rings for projects since they add extra margin of error. :) But sometimes it's just nessasary. I forgot the snippet can be considered under MIT licence.

@ubdussamad I had accidentally misclicked a "h" in my keyring import so it wasn't grabbing the secret key. Works flawlessly now. Thanks! 😄
