Default keyring как отключить linux mint

GNOME Keyring is a collection of components in GNOME that store secrets, passwords, keys, certificates and make them available to applications.

If the system creates the Default Keyring and you provided a password for it, chances are, you will be prompted to unlock the default keyring everytime you login to your linux system.

In my case, it occurred after I installed Ubuntu One from the Software Manager.

As I enter my login account on the Ubuntu One Control Panel, the system prompted that it needs to create a default keyring.

After I provided a strong password, I noticed that everytime I login to Linux Mint I am always prompted to unlock the default keyring.

This is a good feature if you have other people remoting or using your account to login to your computer. But if you are the only user, like myself, you might find this annoying.

Instruction:

Using your file manager (Nautilus or Dolphin), go to the keyrings folder from your home folder (

and delete the files default and default.keyring.

Note: Press CTRL+L on Nautilus (Gnome) or Dolphin (KDE) to make the address bar appear . These are file managers similar to M$ Windows Explorer.

If you like, you may delete all the files in this directory to remove all your other keyrings.

The last step is to access those applications that require the default keyring. In my case, I reenter my login account to Ubuntu One Control Panel.

When the system asks to create a default keyring, click the OK button without specifying a password.

. then click «Use Unsafe Storage» from the confirmation box .

The next time you login to Linux Mint, you will no longer be prompted to unlock the default keyring.

How to disable keyring in Ubuntu, elementary OS, and Linux Mint

Keyring pops up everytime after reboot. Want to stop it?

O ne of FOSS Linux readers asked us this question, and we thought let’s publish an article instead of just replying to the comment.

Ubuntu and its derivatives, including Linux Mint and elementary OS, requests keyring every time a user reboots the computer and launches specific Internet browsers, including Google Chrome and Chromium.

What is Keyring?

The keyring stores passwords and encryption keys for you, just like a safe for passwords. Your passwords are encrypted and protected with your login password by default settings. Every time you launch an application, the keyring enters the password for you. It is true when you don’t have automatic login enabled.

If you have automatic login enabled, then the keyring won’t enter the password for you. Instead, it asks for you to first unlock the safe, for security reasons. Though this behavior is entirely justified, it may become a frustrating experience if you are the sole user of your PC, or it is a test PC where you don’t have any personal info stored.

Option 1: Disable Automatic Login

If you don’t have auto-login activated, the keyring is unlocked when you log in to your user account. Therefore, the system authenticates that you are the user and bypasses keyring prompt when you launch Chrome.

Option 2: Make Keyring password Blank

Step 1) Launch ‘Terminal’ and enter the following command. Elementary OS users may need to first enable PPA before attempting the below command. Ubuntu 17.10 comes with seahorse pre-installed, so you may see output that “seahorse is already the newest version…’.

Step 2) After the installation is complete, launch “seahorse” from programs.

Launching Seahorse

Step 3) Right-click on “Login” and select “Change Password.”

Change Password in Seahorse

Step 4) Enter the old password when you see the pop-up. Then leave the new password field blank. Don’t enter even space. Click ‘Continue’.

Leave the New Password Blank

Step 5) You should see an obvious warning pop-up that passwords will be unencrypted. Click ‘Continue’.

No Encryption Warning

That’s it! Restart your computer for the setting to take effect. Next time you launch Chrome or Chromium browser, you should not see the keyring request.

I read through all the related answers, but they do not apply to Ubuntu 14.04.

I have no .gnome2 folder and no Passwords and Encryption keys item in the system settings. I tried to crawl through every possible menu, but I could not find out how to do it.

The popup usually pops out when I start Chromium.

Fire up «User Accounts», set «automatic login» to «off». At startup you will be asked your user/password only once; popups like «unlock keyring» will never pester you again.

This is for 14.04

Open the password/keyring manager from settings (or run it directly — seahorse)
Ensure Menu > View > By Keyring is ticked.
In the sidebar, under ‘passwords’ create a new keyring ‘Unprotected’ (or re-use an existing keyring, e.g. ‘Default’, but NOT ‘Login’ because that will make everything unprotected which you probably don’t want)
Right-click the new keyring, and ‘set as default’
Right-click the new keyring and set its password as empty (only needed if you adopted an existing keyring)
In the ‘Login’ keyring, delete the network secret for your wifi.
Go to the network manager and add the network again — its secret should appear in the default keyring, which has no password.
Set the default keyring back to Login.

About the Chrome and the keyrings

This problem occurs because Chrome wants to store usernames/passwords in the keyring (so they are encrypted). Therefore, every time you open Chrome, it tries to unlock the keyring.

Please note that, in Linux, Chrome can use different keyring types for the passwords you store in the browser:

Basic keyring: where Chrome stores passwords in a local SQLite database called “Login Data” ( $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/Login Data ). There, the passwords are unencrypted.
Desktop keyrings: (i.e., gnome-keyring or KWallet) where Chrome stores the passwords in the services provided by GNOME or KDE. It stores the encrypted passwords in a special database that must be unlocked before it can be used.

To disable the “unlock your keyring” popup permanently, you may (1) instruct Chrome to avoid the desktop keyrings or (2) create a desktop keyring or modify the default one using Seahorse (for GNOME) or KDE Wallet Manager (for KDE).

You may instruct Chrome to avoid the desktop keyrings and use a local database. If you do that, Chrome will not try to unlock the keyring again. However, every time you instruct Chrome to «remember a password», the password will be stored in plan-text in the your local computer. An expert user may get access to your passwords in plan-text if you use this alternative. This solution is recommended only if you do not ask Chrome to remember your passwords.

Instructing Chrome to avoid the keyring

To run Chrome without using the keyring, you may use the option —password-store=basic :

Modifying the Chrome launcher (icon) to avoid the keyring

Considering that you usually run Chrome doing a doble-click on an icon, you must change the command for the icons you use to include the additional option to run chrome in this way all the time. You may edit (1) the global launcher in the /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop folder or (2) the personal launcher file located in the

Edit the launcher file. For instance, using gedit

Modify the Exec= line to include the —password-store=basic option

How can I stop being prompted to unlock the ‘default’ keyring on boot?

Whenever Ubuntu boots up, a dialogue pops up asking me to unlock my default keyring.

Is there some way this can unlock automatically through PAM or some other magical way?

Be warned that this will make your keyring accessible without a password. Period. You don’t have to be logged in to view it

With that being said,

I think the simplest way is to set the password for the keyring to an empty password — you will not be prompted for a password then:

Open Applications -> Accessories -> Password and Encryption Keys
Right-click on the «login» keyring
Select «Change password»
Enter your old password and leave the new password blank
Press ok, read the security warning, think about it and if you still want to get rid of this dialog, choose «use unsafe storage».

Again, as the message says: This will expose all your passwords (e.g. email passwords) that you chose to save in the default keyring to anyone using your computer or having access to your files and is therefore not recommended.

Addendum for Ubuntu 11.04:

In the default Unity session, you can start the application by clicking on the Ubuntu logo in the top left corner, then typing Password, and selecting Password and Encryption Keys from the search result.

In the classic session the path to start the application has changed to System → Preferences → Password and Encryption Keys

Addendum for Ubuntu 11.10:

In the default Unity session, you can start the application by clicking on the Ubuntu launcher (the first item) in the Unity launcher bar on the left side, then typing Password, and selecting Password and Encryption Keys from the search result.

In the classic session (from the gnome-session-fallback package) the path to start the application has again changed to Applications → Other → Password and Encryption Keys

Note: item 15b:
«b. The next time when you’re being prompted for a keyring password, leave the password field blank (simply click Continue and then again Continue, thus agreeing to unsafe storage). That disables the keyring password for good.»

The problem is that in new versions of Chrome derivatives (Iron, for example), when you leave the «password» fields blank, the pop up window moves partially off the screen and only the cancel button is inside the screen.
There is no way to pull the pop up back to the screen. This is only possible by clicking the «cancel» button and the cycle continues until some character is typed as a password. Even if it is a touch on the space bar.

I can only solve this torment by removing the session keyring (gnome-keyring) from Synaptic.

note: I do not store logins or passwords on my computer.

This worked in Mint 19.3 with autologin enabled. (The interface for «Passwords and Keys» has apparently changed from earlier versions. There’s no «Login» option.)

On the menu, go to Accessories/»Password and Keys,» right-click and delete the two items under Default Keys («Chrome Safe Storage» and «Chrome Safe Storage Control»).

Next time you open Chrome, it won’t ask for for keyring password but it will have forgotten any Google related passwords (Gmail, etc.), so you’ll have to login anew to Google (requiring two-factor authentication and a «yes» acknowledgement on your phone).

After this, you’ll notice new default Chrome keys will be created in «Passwords and Keys.»

Try rebooting to see if Chrome stops asking for the keyring passwords. It no longer does for me.

Thanks for the update trytip
I have changed my Chrome command for google-chrome-stable —password-store=basic %U , as you suggested (although having no issues with the previous one)
The terminal command google-chrome-stable —ignore-gpu-blocklist —password-store=basic —force-device-scale-factor=1.3 %U gave me no error messages/notifications, it only opened a new chrome window
Regarding chrome://gpu/ , the only ‘blocklist’ return was «Accelerated video decode has been disabled, either via blocklist, about:flags or the command line».
Cheers

Edit 1: with the exception of mail box accounts (gmail, outlook), other sites are not recording/saving passwords anymore, although requesting to ‘save password’ is done whenever prompted by the browser.
