I would do it like this:

(let* ((auth (auth-source-search :host "z.lifelogs.com"))
       (secret (plist-get (nth 0 auth) :secret))
       (secret (if (functionp secret) (funcall secret) secret)))
  secret)

The differences with your code:

1) it works if the secret is not returned, or if the secret is not a function

2) it picks the first result safely and works if there's no results

3) quoting :secret is not necessary

4) you can use a string for searching, it doesn't have to be a list

I will fix up auth.texi, I promise.  I was waiting for the API to quiet
down, which I think it has.  I'll add examples of usage including this.
