+Using Keyring with tox
+======================
+
+Some backends rely on environment variables to operate correctly, and ``tox`` filters most environment variables by default.
+
+For example, when using Keyring to store credentials for pip, one may encounter the following error when
+running tests under ``tox`` when using a backend reliant on D-Bus:
+
+  RuntimeError: No recommended backend was available. Install the keyrings.alt package if you want to use the non-recommended backends. See README.rst for details.
+
+This error is caused by Keyring KWallet backend not able to resolve the backing service.
+
+To work around the issue, add ``DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`` to ``pass_env`` in the
+``tox`` configuration. Consider adding other necessary variables, such as ``DISPLAY`` and ``WAYLAND_DISPLAY`` (if using ``pinentry``).
