Chrome on Ubuntu always asks for password for keyring. There are many posts out there suggesting ways to remove the prompt by setting up a keyring. However, I also found that when I am prompt for a password, I can press cancel and chrome still runs normally. I feel uncomfortable to surrender my password if Chrome actually doesn't need it.
So,
What is that keyring used for? Is it caused by virus? (so that I can decide to give my password to chrome or not)
Is there a way I can get rid of the prompt without surrendering my password?
