First of all, you cutted out my first question. I think that typing
password over and over each time is not what people using finger
reader really want.

Maybe /etc/security like cracklib does for storing used passwords or
directly in /etc/ like pam-opie module does for storing temporary
passwords /etc/opiekeys

Using password is just ignoring existence of other kinds of
authentication methods that are present or can be implemented in
future.

I did not write its stupid, I wrote its not stupid to suggest other
solutions that fix problem.
Yes it should be possible to use gnome-keyring with all pam modules by
just making it aware of that there might be something else then
password that can be used for login to system.
