Auth required - login keyring

[neverland]

Hi,
after i login into L5 i get this window. Authentication required, the login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer. It asks for a password. What the hell is this? I have never plugged my L5 into computer. Why is this happening and how to solve this?

Thankyou

You need to find out which application that your phone has installed on it is using a keyring.

Note that an application may use the default keyring, or it may use an explicitly specified keyring. On the Librem 5, the default keyring is not the Login keyring.

Do you have any passwords stored in any keyrings?

You can at least look in ~/.local/share/keyrings to see what keyrings you have i.e. what .keyring files exist. On my phone, the only such keyring file is Default_keyring.keyring which, as the filename implies, is the default keyring (out of the box).
