When I log into Ubuntu, I am prompted every time to:
Enter Password for Default Keyring to UnlockI want to avoid this step since I am the only person using this machine and I see no reason to have any password protection.
Is there an easy way to turn this off so I can turn the computer on and get to the desktop without having to enter any passwords, just as I do on my Windows machine?
Solution:
This can happen if your machine is configured to auto-login. You can work your way around this by setting a blank password for the keyring manager. Follow this guide to do this. This allows anyone using the computer to access your passwords.
There are a few other cases where you get asked for the keyring password, which I’m not very clear about. However, this prompt is not raised for most configurations.
