Every time I have restarted mysystem, and use an application that might need a password (Thunderbird, Vivaldi, etc.) I am asked to create a password for new keyring.

It doesn't matter if I create the keyring with an empty password, the next boot I'm asked again.

enter image description here

I don't want to set a password, and I don't want to see this multiple times every day (once for each app that uses passwords).

I'm using an up-to-date 22.10 system (did a dist-upgrade yesterday).

Still didn't work after an upgrade to 23.04 this spring. I'm leaning toward doing a fresh reinstall for 23.10 to hopefully get rid of it.

  • Does this work for you https://askubuntu.com/a/1181666/1198244 , https://askubuntu.com/a/875/1198244 – Utkarsh Chandra Srivastava Dec 20 '22 at 06:22
  • @UtkarshChandraSrivastava The first did not, the second was simply too old to apply. – Some programmer dude Dec 20 '22 at 06:39
  • Search passwords and keyring in app menu , right click on login and then change password it should work. – Utkarsh Chandra Srivastava Dec 20 '22 at 06:41
  • @UtkarshChandraSrivastava Didn't help, I am still asked to create new keyrings. – Some programmer dude Dec 21 '22 at 06:52

    For me, it seems to have helped to make one of the existing keyrings the default one. (Via Gui: Search for "Passwords and Keys", left hand side on passwords, right click -> "Set as default") – cis Jan 19 '24 at 06:41
  • @cis I tried that, setting the "Login" keyring as default. Then I started a program that normally puts up four requests, and this time I got none! Seems to work, so please write an answer that I can upvote and accept. :-) – Some programmer dude Jan 19 '24 at 07:07
  • This happens the first time of the boot that I launch chromium-browser on Ubuntu 24.04 either manually or from a startup script. I have passwordless login because my disk is encrypted. I made a bug report at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/2073356 – Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com Jul 17 '24 at 07:48

It seems to help to set one of the existing keyrings as "default".

In order to do so via Gui:

  • In "Activities", search for "Passwords and Keys"
  • On the left hand side, in the "passwords" section, right click on the keyring you want to use
  • "Set as default")

  • While this seems to solve the problem I ask about (and hence the accept) I still need to unlock the keyring once on boot. So it's a lot better, as I now only have one dialog at start, not many spread out over the uptime. – Some programmer dude Jan 20 '24 at 07:11

Relaying the work-around I suggested in LP:2073356:

sudo snap disconnect chromium:password-manager-service

Try this!

  • Go to Activities/Applications(Whatever!)
  • search for Seahorse(Password and Encryption)
  • Go back if you're on the GnuPG keys section else click on login and click delete if you don't want the popup or else you may click change password and set it to none.
