Yes, security through obscurity. A possible attacker won't know for sure
which key is the useful one without opening the keychain. Or can he
know?

While we're at this one: the reason I am using KeePass is because I have
a hard time remembering one strong password. Having about 50 of them, a
different one for each account, it's a true pain. But a passphrase is
something completely different. It's harder to type. It employs far less
characters. Yet it can be looong. How about that? Is that any better? 45
ASCII lowercase with a uppercase ASCII and a couple of signs is better
than 16 random alphanumerics and signs?
