How to allow apps to use keychain on startup without needing to authenticate?
Hi guys, I'm a new convert to Linux and I've been loving Omarchy. I'm still getting used to the amount of control, and configuration, and everything in between after being a Windows user for over 20 years.
I've made a few changes to my system; I switched over to using NetworkManager so I could run the ProtonVPN app. However, each time I launch the system, it asks me to authenticate my key ring.
I asked AI for help and it suggested when it asks me to create a new key ring to leave it unencrpyted - but this didn't work. It would just ask me each time to make a new keyring. It also suggested to make the password for keyring the same as the system password, which also didn't change anything.
I'm pretty sure the gnome-keyring-daemon starts up automatically anyway, but I tried adding exec-once = /usr/lib/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh,gpg to my hypr/autostart.conf
Apologies is the sollution is really simple or I am missing something entirely, but I promise I have done my own research and testing but I really can't find a solution for this. Any help would be appreciated
