You misread what I was trying to say. What I was reading is that if the system password is the same as the keyring password it's not supposed to ask for the keyring password. This is supposed to be a workaround for people who use automatic login.
Read this article: https://one.ubuntu.com/help/faq/how-do-i-get-rid-of-the-keyring-password-prompt/ My issue is that even if my system password is the same as the keyring password, it still asks. I'm glad we have you on top of bugs. I'm surprised anything gets done. Can you re-open this bug or do I have to file a new one? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991003 Title: Even if the keyring password is same as system password, gnome-keyring asks every time on login Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After reading on Google I found that setting the keyring password to the same password as the system password, gnome-keyring is not supposed to ask for the password, even if automatic login is selected. If I try to use the same password as my system password, it asks every time on login. The only way I was able to get rid of it was to not set any password, thus leaving my information unencrypted. I'd rather not leave my information unencrypted. If I delete the 'default' keyring, Ubuntu One loses my login information. If I enter any password (even the same one as my system password) it asks me every time on login. According to what I've read, it shouldn't. Only if I leave it blank (which I would prefer not to do) it will leave me alone. I'm running a fresh, clean install (not an upgrade) of 12.04 LTS. gnome-keyring is version 3.2.2-2ubuntu4.
