Keyring Manager Application is a brilliant new app for security
reasons in Ubuntu. This application stores and manages all the passwords
for your credentials so that your computer and files on it remain safe.
And though this application is highly recommended but still some people
feel very annoyed being asked to enter password every time they use a
particular app. Those users who are running it on their private
computers like laptop feel this app of no use and rather time wasting.
So if you are among the one who does not like to enter the password
every time you use an application, you can disable the “Unlock Keyring”
dialog box. In this guide below instructions are given on how to disable
this app so that you do not have to enter the password every time you
open the application.
teps to Disable or Remove the “Unlock Keyring” Dialogue Box
Step 1: Open the password and keys application. To
do this click on the top-left Ubuntu logo on the screen, the dash board
will appear. Now search “Password and keys” or “Seahorse” or simply
“Password”. Open the app shown on the dash.
Step 2: On the password and keys window now
right-click on the item you wish to remove the Unlock Keyring option
from. If you have to remove this dialog box from multiple applications
then select the apps one by one.
Step 3: A pop-up menu will appear when you right
click on the password item. Now enter your current password in the old
password option.
Step 4: For the new password option DO NOT enter any
password and just leave it blank. So you will leave the “password” and
“confirm” option fields empty.
Step 5: After you select OK you will need to confirm
“Store passwords unencrypted” dialog box that will appear. Just click
on the “Use Unsafe Storage” option.
And that’s it. Now when you will open this application again then the
“Unlock Keyring” dialog box will no longer appear. The application will
automatically be unlocked as you made it to do so.
Note: Though this method will no longer bother you
with the “Unlock Keyring” dialog box every time you open the application
but it will also expose all the passwords saved in Keyring to anyone
who uses this computer. Therefore it is not recommended to do so until
your computer is not shared by anyone except you.
