this pops randomly. how do you fix it?
fc40, official release iso. created by Fedora Media Writer. updated last week. didn’t happen with fc39 on same laptop.
same issue.
Install Seahorse and change password on the Login keyring:
sudo dnf install seahorse
Applications > Passwords and Keys > Passwords > Login > Change Password
This typically happens when using automatic login.
You can remove the keyring password as a workaround.

This happens to me on those systems with automatic login. In those cases I guess it is normal behavior.
I keep getting the same popups but installing seahorse and accessing the “Login” > “Change Password” only results in the popup again, and I don’t know the password for it.
There are currently two users on the system and I am working on the “not Admin” one with sudo rights. I tried solving it in the Admin user, didn’t work either…
You can remove the keyring that you cannot unlock and create a new one.
thanks for your fast reply!
could you support me with the command? (I’m very new to linux)
Seahorse GUI is enough to achieve all this, but you can also use CLI:
gio trash ~/.local/share/keyrings; gnome-session-quit --logout

Just happened to come across this issue again (last time happened to me in f35 I think).
Answers here didn’t really solve it for me, but they did help. Simple change of password didn’t work.
What solved it for was to remove the keychain password and then add it back again:
- install seahorse
- Passwords →
RMBLogin → Change password → [current password] → empty password - Passwords →
RMBLogin → Change password → empty password → [previous password]
