I tried to reproduce this in a 24.04 virtual machine. I deleted the user's password with 'passwd -d user'.
I log out, log in, start Chromium with password-manager-service connected, and I get the said dialogue asking for a password. If I give empty password, I get another dialogue asking: > Store passwords unencrypted? > > By choosing to use a blank password, your stored passwords will not be safely > encrypted. They will be accessible by anyone with access to your files. I accept that and in seahorse I see a 'Default keyring' was created under the 'Passwords' section. Restarting Chromium is done without any other password prompt. Login out and logging in or rebooting and starting Chromium is done without any other password prompt either. Does the disk need to be encrypted to reproduce this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2073356 Title: Choose password for new keyring the first time chromium-browser is started on each session Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I get this popup the first time I start chromium-browser: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1446379/why-am-i-always-asked-to- create-a-new-keyring either manually or via a startup script. Closing and restarting does not create the popup until I reboot. After the reboot, the password prompt is back again. What I do is just enter enter enter with empty password and life moves on. Under "Passwords and Keys" in settings, I just get a new "Default keyring" every time this happens. My disk is encrypted, I don't have a password to login, and I don't want to type any passwords after unlocking my disk during boot. Ubuntu 24.04, snap chromium version 126.0.6478.126.
