Auto signin worked fine on boot until I installed Chromium. Now the computer signs in on boot, but when i start Chrome, there is a popup asking me enter my keyring ... it gets tedious. Auto signin is all set up under 'users' correctly, so i don't know what is going on. I have seen a workaround that involves setting a blank password. Not keen on that because of security issues. Anyone got any other ideas? Thanks.

When you sign in, it unlocks the gnome keyring used for storing encrypted passwords. The auto sign in skips unlocking this gnome keyring, so when a program requests to use it, you still have to sign in. Turning off the automatic login shall remove these pop-ups. There is also an additional way of disabling the pop-up in the second answer of this post: How to disable the "unlock your keyring" popup?

  • It is a good workaround, but currently i am only entering the password once, which would pretty much be the same as having to do it at boot up, so I will just live with. Cheers for the help. Aug 29, 2017 at 11:56
