If you have enabled disk encryption, LUKS passphrase can be reused to decrypt GNOME keyring even with auto-login. When you have auto-login enabled or use another passwordless authentication method (for example 'fingerprint' device), you don't enter any password, and gnome-keyring cannot unlock the keyring automatically. You did not enter your password when logging in You have to update the 'login' keyring password manually. If root changes the password, or /etc/shadow is directly edited then due to the lack of the old password, the 'login' keyring cannot be updated. When the user changes their password, the PAM module changes the password of the 'login' keyring to match. So, why am I being asked to unlock a 'keyring'? The 'login' keyring password does not match your login password When you login normally, the system gives the password you just entered to gnome-keyring, which then unlocks the login keyring. Gnome keyring can automatically unlock it when the user logs in. It is usually protected by a password that matches your login password. Google Chrome uses Gnome 'login' keyring to securely store passwords.
