Auto-Unlock Keyring Manager In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

July 15, 2013 12:03 PM

I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Lenovo Ideapad that was running Win XP SP3 and wish to bypass the password manager so the annoying message: " enter password" (which I do correctly), this is then followed by "Enter password for keyring default to unlock". I Googled this and found lots of conflicting answers but none of them work for me. I cannot find the 'keyring manager' to leave a blank password as some suggest, so I'm at a loss and frustrated. I don't really want to reinstall Ubunto! Please help, stating the steps one by one that I have to take.

Perhaps the information contained in this question is helpful. The method proposed there doesn't seem particularly secure though.

The GUI interface for the keyring is called Seahorse. If you don't have it for some reason by default install it and then you should be able to manage the application.
