Gnome-keyring - unlocked

[GuiGuy]

I found the gnome-keyring to be very annoying - whenever I booted this OS from a computer-off state the keyring was NOT unlocked automatically by my logging in.
I believe I have got around the problem by changing my keyring password to blank: this seems to work OK, and I presume my keyring is still encrypted.

The only situation, I can think of, is when you autologin. In this situation, the pam-module cannot unlock the keyring, as no password, was given during login.
With a blank password, the keyring (file) is readable by any processes. E.g. a little script, with read permission of the filesystem, can transfer the whole content to another place. :lipsrsealed:

No, I never use autologin.
And nobody but my wife and I has physical access to this machine.

Has any other MX user tried the gnome-keyring ?

Has any other MX user tried the gnome-keyring ?

Not willingly

We just encounter it when running Skype, Google Chrome, and some other stuff

So how do you deal with it?

Swearing, muttering, entering my user password, or using the solution Fehlix gave a while ago.

I believe it is described here: https://mxlinux.org/uncategorized/gnome-keyring/

Thanks, E R. I found Fehlix's method unsatisfactory until I changed the keyring password to blank.
I wonder what Jerry does when he uses Opera.

.. unsatisfactory until I changed the keyring password to blank.

Any chance to help you? I mean the more detailed information is provided they higher is the chance we identify the issue why it is not working for you properly.
I have Chromium and Vivaldi, which both require a keyring, and works unlocked after login. OK as soon I run Thunar as root, the keyring is blocked, but I run Thunar as root rather rarely anyway.

Thanks for offering further help, Fehlix, but I do not need it because I am now satisfied with the performance of my system.

Unless another MX user wants more information I am minded to mark this thread "SOLVED".

Duh! I did not start the thread....have just marked my own posts.

Was experiencing the same issue, and just went into mx package manager, stable repo, put gnome in the search box and uninstalled the following programs, now i do not get a request for keyring with chromiuim.

the main programs i ticked for uninstall were the

gnome settings daemon
gnome system log
open vpn-gnome
gnome pinentry-gnome3 and policykit-1-gnome.

In my case think the issue was caused by installing gnome desktop a few weeks back.
