Chromium based Browser (Opera/Vivaldi) and keyring

[linuxdummie]

I have found this thread: Opera keeps asking for "Unlock Login Keyring"

It's already old and it does not work.

So my problem: I use Opera and Vivaldi and their build-in Sync-function for passwords. Every time if I start Opera or Vivaldi after Manjaro restart they ask me to unlock the keyring. I don't need and want it for Browsers.

Is there a current howto for linux-newbies of how to turn this off?

I have done this on my system and it works for me:

sudo killall gnome-keyring-daemon
sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon

Keep an eye on your system to see if nothing is complaining that the daemon is not running and read:

Keyring for chromium is pointless?

We’re discussing this again? Well - OK. Chrome/Chromium will try to use a keyring as it is a secure storage mechanism. If a keyring is not available (or you cancel) Chrome(ium) will store credentials in plain text. By disabling gnome-keyring-daemon you are making Chrome(ium) use its own unencrypted credential store. By manually moving the files you are creating an issue later with package updates. My recommendation is to keep the keyring and type the password.

Thanks.
Did you have problems with updates (Manjaro, Applications/Programs)?
How do you reactivate the keyring afterwards?

They (Linux community) should finally create a foolproof solution for this to end this discussion about gnome-keyring and chromium based browser.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with programming, otherwise I would try.

No, I have not had any problems.
You just revert by:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon
and reboot.
