Unlock Login Keyring (Solved)

#1 Post by duffy »

I run Debian 9.1 with the LXDE and XFCE desktops. When I would startup Chromium, the message "Unlock Login Keyring" would popup in a box also saying: "Enter password to unlock your login keyring. The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer."

Entering my logon passwork would unlock the keyring, and I could continue with Chromium.

I did a search of the forum for +login+keyring and found 15 pages of material. This issue has been around for at least 10 years. For a solution, see the following:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... 27#p114753

Additional information can be found here:
http://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring/Pam

Several different actions may cause the condition to arise: changing a password, installing certain packages, or modifying a configuration file. That is why I thought there was a need to repeat the topic. [If the moderators feel this is out of place and would be better in the Howto, Tips & Tricks category, please move it.]

I have the same problem but cannot get it solved. I had the issue with Debian 9 and I had with Debian 11, always using XFCE and lighdm as desktop and display managers respectively. When I login in Chromium browsers as Brave or Vivaldi, I get the popup window you mention and I also got it using Element desktop app. Following instructions in the first of the links, I modified the file /etc/pam.d/lightdm, but it had no effect on this issue.

@IagoGV This thread is 4 years old and marked solved. If the same solution does not help you please start a new thread as it is likely a different issue.
