Apparently Xubuntu is supposed to be using seahorse, but it's not installed on my Lenovo laptop with 20.04.2 nor on my new Latitude with 21.10. I tried the link, but again it says to use seahorse. I can install seahorse, but must be something else that is causing the problems. And seahorse is apparently a front end for gnome-keyring or gnome-keyring-daemon, but those aren't installed either. I went into Users and Groups where I am listed, but I couldn't find any settings for password, so maybe that's not where I should be looking.
