> You just happened to choose to make your keyring password match your login password way back when it first asked
Without wishing to contradict you, that's not correct -- not with recent versions of Ubuntu, at least (I'm not sure about older versions). If you don't believe me, create a new account, log on to it, and try it yourself. The "login" keyring is set up with that user's login password when you create the account. The automatic unlocking, incidentally, is done by libpam-gnome-keyring: "This package contains a PAM module that will automatically unlock the keyrings using your login password, making gnome-keyring usage transparent without losing its security benefits". And that's the problem: once you change your login password, libpam-gnome-keyring can no longer unlock the "login" keyring with it, since users-admin doesn't change that password in sync with the login password. -- [users-admin] changing password via users-admin doesn't change seahorse password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
