OK I think I got to the bottom of this, it is caused by package upgrade:
[ebuild     U ] app-crypt/gcr-3.41.0 [3.40.0] USE="gtk introspection vala -gtk-doc -systemd% -test"

All other packages are new and pull-in as a dependency:

gnome-base/gnome-keyring-42.1 pulled in by:
     virtual/secret-service-0 requires gnome-base/gnome-keyring

grep secret-service upgrade_07-07-22.txt
[ebuild  N    ] virtual/secret-service-0

virtual/secret-service-0 pulled in by:
     app-crypt/libsecret-0.20.5-r3 requires =virtual/secret-service-0, virtual/secret-service

grep app-crypt/libsecret upgrade_07-07-22.txt
[ebuild  N    ] app-crypt/libsecret-0.20.5-r3  USE="crypt introspection vala -gtk-doc -test -tpm" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)"

app-crypt/libsecret-0.20.5-r3 pulled in by:
     app-crypt/gcr-3.41.0 requires >=app-crypt/libsecret-0.20

And "app-crypt/gcr" was an upgrade.

So maybe it is better to leave it as it is, instead of fighting the system :-)
But it would be nice if there were some notes about it during emerge.
All of a sudden when starting chrome, a message box pops up "choose password for new keyring" (without any explanation) and all screen is frozen, only option is to enter a password or "cancel it".
