my observations as a computer administrator are the following: in my school sometimes apple computers ask users for keyring or keychain passwords. i've never seen one who knows what that is. users try to click these boxes away or ignore them.
at private homes people are happy when they found out 1. the router boxes web interface ip-address 2. the routers password 3. the place where to enter their internet providers login and password 4. finding the place where to enter a wlan password into the router box 5. and into the laptop 6. deciding hereby to use wep, wpa2 or whatever. but when there's popping up a box asking for a keyring password most users are at a point where they are frustrated to a maximum. they don't know what to do. "keyring" is a nice metapher but in my opinion no one needs them. within a normal user account there aren't that much passwords to bundle them into a keyring. my advice is. keyrings shouldn't be installed and activated by default. keyrings are only a simplification for advanced users, knowing what it is. for most people they are an unnecessary annoying complification. -- nm-applet: requests keyring password, doesn't use it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
