Two keyring inputs on system startup after recent upgrades

First off, new to the forums, hello everyone! I’m generally a newbie to Linux stuff and I’m learning as I go.

When I first installed Tumbleweed, I got a single prompt for unlocking my keyring at startup, which I’m okay with, however recently I receive two prompts for the keyring now, one which appears as a Gnome administrative prompt (not exactly sure the terminology for it, but it darkens the screen, centers on my main monitor, etc), and the new one which is a GTK popup brought up by what I can tell Gnome itself. I wish to clean things up a bit and disable/remove the second prompt, while retaining the first one, is there a graceful way to do this?

I’m unsure what information would be relevant to place here to further detail the general situation, I’ve searched several queries that could lead to an older mention of this issue and a resolution, however the only fix I could see was flat out disabling keyring authentication, which I’d rather not do.

I’m not a Gnome user. But I did login to Gnome this morning, and I’m not seeing a problem here.

As best I recall, Gnome has two keyrings – the login keyring and the default keyring. Normally the login keyring is used, and automatically opened. But if you use auto-login, then that cannot happen so the default keyring is used instead. So, are you using auto-login?

If you have Skype installed in KDE it uses the gnome keyring.

I thank you both kindly for the replies, and apologize for the late response. Days are busy and it’s hard to keep track of things online sometimes…

It does appear that is the case, and I was using auto-login. Disabling auto-login resolved the issue completely. Thanks much! :slight_smile:

I don’t use Skype, and the only desktop I have installed is Gnome, so I don’t believe that could have been the issue. Regardless, interesting to know.
