For a display manager that does not automatically unlock the keyring edit the appropriate file instead of /etc/pam.d/login as mentioned below. GDM, LightDM, LXDM, and SDDM already have the necessary PAM configuration. When using a display manager, the keyring works out of the box for most cases. See #Launching gnome-keyring-daemon outside desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, XFCE.

If you desire to skip the PAM step, the default keyring must be unlocked manually or via another method.

For this to work, you need to use the systemd init in your nf as well as the appropriate kernel parameters.

Alternatively, if using GDM and LUKS, GDM can unlock your keyring if it matches your LUKS password.

Note that the contents of the keyring are stored unencrypted in this case.

To use automatic unlocking with automatic login, you can set a blank password for the default keyring.

The gnome-keyring-daemon is automatically started with a systemd user service. The PAM module pam_gnome_keyring.so initialises GNOME Keyring partially, unlocking the default login keyring in the process. See Create a new keyring and Update the keyring password in GNOME Help for more information. Passwords for keyrings (e.g., the default keyring, 'Login') can be changed and even removed. You can manage the contents of GNOME Keyring using Seahorse install the seahorse package.

lssecret - List all secret items using libsecret (e.g.

secret-tool - Access the GNOME Keyring (and any other service implementing the DBus Secret Service API) from the command line.

It can also be started upon request via a socket.Įxtra utilities related to GNOME Keyring include: The gnome-keyring-daemon is automatically started via a systemd user service upon logging in. Although libgnome-keyring is deprecated (and superseded by libsecret), it may still be required by certain applications.

libsecret should also be installed to grant other applications access to your keyrings. The package can otherwise be installed on its own.

Gnome-keyring is a member of the gnome group is thus usually present on systems running GNOME. GNOME Keyring is 'a collection of components in GNOME that store secrets, passwords, keys, certificates and make them available to applications.'
