### Method

# Secret Service unlock_dbus_paths_sync

#### Declaration [src]

    gint
    secret_service_unlock_dbus_paths_sync (
      SecretService* self,
      const gchar** paths,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      gchar*** unlocked,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Unlock items or collections in the secret service.

The items or collections are represented by their D-Bus object paths. If you already have `SecretItem` and `SecretCollection` proxy objects, use use `secret_service_unlock_sync()` instead.

The secret service may not be able to unlock items individually, and may unlock an entire collection instead.

This method may block indefinitely and should not be used in user interface threads. The secret service may prompt the user. `secret_service_prompt()` will be used to handle any prompts that show up.

Stability: Unstable

This method is not directly available to language bindings.
