Chromium browser keeps asking to create keyrings on every boot

General Help
1

Hello! I am searching everywhere for answers but most of what I am finding is outdated.

I am having an issue with Chromium based browsers. No matter what I type in, anytime I have a fresh boot or login session, it always asks me to create a new Keyring password. Every dang time.

After deleting keyrings, setting keyrings to default, enabling and then disabling auto-login, changing lines with text editors, nothing is working.

Was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions? Should I just completely wipe and start anew (I have nothing major saved locally, all backed up).

I am running Zorin Core OS.

Do you have auto-login enabled? If so, disable it and it should cure the chromium browser asking for keyrings.

I do not use auto-login. Type my password every time to sign on

Try this:

chromium-browser --password-store=basic

The chromium command may be different if you installed it via flatpak. I think flatpak command for Chromium is org.chromium.Chromium

Sorry still bit of a noob. Is this a terminal command or is this in relation to modifying the Exec= line with Text Editor? I used a straight debian install so if its the later, I found the appropriate file.

It works both as a command in the terminal and if it works you can edit the Exec= line with the exact command.

A lot of the solutions in here I have already tried. It is also not an auto-login issue since I do not use Auto-login

Ok I can try it in Terminal later today and see what happenes. I tried something similar before in the Exec= line and a lot of Google Services were locked out for Chrome for being "unsecured"

Edit: I appreciate your help :slight_smile:

So tried this. Seemed to work. Restarted and it asked again. No idea. A buddy of mine had the same issue with Ubuntu and only fixed it with a wipe. Given all I had was games installed, I did that and reinstalled Zorin and that seemed to fix the issue.

Don't recommend for most people to take this route.
