JFTR, the OP was using Mysql, I am using Postgresql. I use many other Postgresql tools and have code (mine and third-party) that accesses my databases (including the Gnucash ones) and have never had anything make a peep about keyrings, only Gnucash. Google Chrome, although it has nothing to do w

I think Adrien is correct, mysql needs access to the keyring in order to check user access permissions, though if you logon to the PC manually, entering your password, then I would not have expected it to have to ask again, and it certainly should not happen each time you run gnucash. I think it i

It opens without the popup. Which I suppose implies that the keyring checking is occurring in gnucash code conditionally for database access, or in whatever api gnucash uses for database access (libdbi?), or possibly in database-specific api libdbi uses (eg libpq(?) for Postgresql). I don't t

If, as an experiment, you start a new accounts file and save it as xml, then shutdown and restart gnucash, which should then open the xml file, do you get the popup? Colin On Tue, 2 Apr 2019 at 18:21, Stuart McGraw wrote: > > No auto-login here and I think the app that needs an option to ignore

While GnuCash is the app you are trying to run, it is calling MySQL (which is its own app) with the user:password as an argument. I suspect (though I could be wrong) that it is MySQL trying to check that password in the keychain that is the trigger. Something to consider. Good luck figuring it o

No auto-login here and I think the app that needs an option to ignore the keyring check entirely is Gnucash (not the database which isn't an app). As for creating a different default keyring, I'll look into that sometime (so thanks for the direction to look!) but right now, clicking the Cancel

There are multiple reasons for that pop-up and a solution for each. One involves disabling automatic login to the desktop. (if you use it) You can also create a different ‘default’ keyring and set it to non-protected. (so it is visible to anyone—not wise unless you store nothing in it.) Some app

The GnuCash data files (XML) will be in the home directory of the logged in user of the OS who created the data file and in whatever location they created them within the users home directory. The location of MySQL files will be where MySQL stores its database files on your OS, E.g. C:/ProgramDa
