UI issues on Zorin OS: Taskbar icons locked and constant Keyring password prompts

General Help

Hi everyone, I'm using Zorin OS on a Lenovo IdeaPad. I'm facing two very frustrating issues:

  1. The icons on the taskbar/panel are locked: I cannot drag or rearrange them.
  2. The System Keyring keeps asking for a password every time I open Brave, even though auto-login is enabled.

Is there a specific GNOME extension or a terminal command to unlock the taskbar management and to permanently disable the keyring prompts without breaking the system? Thanks for your help!"

This happens because Auto-Login is enabled. When you type in the Password to log in, this affecty the Keyring Stuff too. So, You wouldn't have to type it in again. But when You use Auto-Login this is missing and so You have to type the Password for it.

So, when You move the Mouse Cursor over them and You hold the Mouse Key, do the Icons move when You move the Mouse but they don't stay on Position or do they not even move? When You click on them, do the Programs open? Did You tried with with disabling the Extension and then enable it again?

Because of the icons:
Do you have locked the panel? Right-click on the panel and look if there is shown something like "unlock panel" or "unlock taskbar". Then click on it to unlock.
When the taskbar is unlocked you can move the icons by drag and drop.

Hi everyone,

I'm using Zorin OS 18 on a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 and I have Automatic Login enabled. Every time I launch Brave Browser, I get the "Unlock Login Keyring" system popup.

I have already tried the following methods multiple times, but none of them worked:

  1. Setting a blank password for the "Login" keyring in Seahorse (Passwords and Keys).
  2. Launching Brave with flags: I've tried --password-store=basic both in the terminal and by editing the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/.
  3. Deleting and recreating the default keyring.

Despite these attempts, the popup keeps appearing. I have my passwords backed up in a .csv file, so I'm not afraid of losing data, but I want to get rid of this prompt permanently while keeping Automatic Login active.

Is there a specific way in Zorin 18 to bypass the keyring authentication for Brave? Any help would be appreciated.
