Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
When I log into my laptop for the first time after booting, NetworkManager tries to connect to my WPA-protected wireless network. Before it can get the PSK for the network, gnome-keyring-manager prompts me for a passphrase (and empty passphrases are not allowed). This is cumbersome from a usability perspective, and the security gain is not worth it for my purposes (and I suspect many other users as well). The pam-keyring package (http://www.hekanetworks.com/pam_keyring/) allows unlocking the keyring without (I believe) storing any passwords in $HOME. It ought to be brought into main, and made at least an option for unlocking passphrases for gnome-keyring. ** Affects: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- Integrate with pam-keyring to securely avoid keyring password challenge https://launchpad.net/bugs/48132 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
