Comment from upstream: "In general this should not be necessary for normal users to do.
1. The login keyring password should be kept in sync with the user's unix password. This occurs automatically when a proper password changing tool (such as 'passwd') is used. The tool needs to use the standard PAM facilities to change the user's password. 2. Even if the password gets out of sync, gnome-keyring-2.91.1 and later helps to fix the user's password when it gets out of sync. The first time its detected that the password for the login keyring and user's unix password are out of sync, the user is prompted to enter their old password, and the login keyring is then changed to the new password. If there are additional design changes that are suggested, please add them to this ticket."
