Got the authentication dialog asks to unlock the login keyring on every login of your Ubuntu Desktop? Here’s how to disable the dialog in Ubuntu 24.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 20.04, and old releases, such as Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04.<\/p>\n

If you enabled automatic login, passwordless login, or use another authentication method (e.g., fingerprint reader), then you may got “Authentication Required – The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer<\/i>” dialog. Which, usually occurs to web browsers or other apps that store encrypted passwords.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/p>\n

This is because log into Ubuntu without user password will leave the keyrings unlocked. So, launching the corresponding apps first time after login will ask for user password to unlock for security reason.<\/p>\n

To workaround the issue, you can just set the keyring unlock password to blank to disable it! NOTE: It’s NOT secure to disable this feature, do NOT do it in production machine!<\/b><\/p>\n

1.<\/b> First, search for and launch “Passwords and Keys<\/b>” (aka Seahorse) utility from either start menu or the GNOME overview screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/b> When it opens, navigate to “Passwords -> Login” in left. Right-click on ‘login’ and select “Change Password”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.<\/b> In the pop-up dialog, first type your user password (usually the original password you set while installing Ubuntu<\/em>) to authenticate. Then, leave blank for the new password input boxes, and click “Continue”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, confirm by clicking “Continue” on the next “Store password unencrypted” dialog, and done!<\/p>\n

How to Restore:<\/h3>\n

To restore the change, simply re-do the previous 3 steps. Instead of leaving new password blank, just set it to same to your user password for login and done!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
