Possibly, but others seemed to be getting them confused.

What about seahorse?  Does that work OK? (To see if it is a difference
between gnome vs non-gnome application.)

It's possible that chrome uses a different mechanism for accessing the
gnome-keyring. Is DBus functioning correctly on your system?

The bottom line is that I, and many, many others, have been using
evolution with gnome-keyring without any problems for many years and
versions.  If there was an issue with evolution and passwords there
would be a lot more noise about it as it's a fundamental feature. The
conclusion then is that the issue is with your setup and not with
evolution.
