[Screenshot From 2025-11-24 11-24-17] While the title overall explains this, to go slightly more in-depth, the expectation is the device to be overall unlocked and usable on boot due to auto-login, with changing some settings or opening specific applications requiring a password to do so.

Is there another way to change the keyring password (preferably with gui)? The application seems to be from an unverified dev which is a tad strange. Surely Gnome has a native way to manage a “keyring” if it introduces such, otherwise there is little point in including it. [image]

I make a point to ALWAYS use gui when attempting for basic user functionality - this does give a good starting point for me to make a few needed issue/bug reports though, thanks! While this tool is a solution, since auto-login does not actually auto-login the user without a blank keyring this leads…

Thanks a lot for your great bug reporting work! I’d like to add a use-case to this mess: when you have encrypted disk and you set autologin, it would be great if the keyring would be unlocked from the same password? So if autologin pwd = login pwd = keyring pwd, with autologin set, and only one p…
