Stop being prompted to unlock the ‘default’ keyring

The simplest way is to set the password for the keyring to an empty password -- you will not be prompted for a password then:

  • Open Applications -> Accessories -> Password and Encryption Keys.
  • Right-click on the "login" keyring.
  • Select "Change password"
  • Enter your old password and leave the new password blank.

Remove Chromium from Ubuntu Keyring

Remove keyring dependency with the following:

Try taking the passwords off of your keyring. This would work well for a virtual environment.

  • Open Applications -> Accessories -> Password and Encryption Keys.
  • Click View -> "By keyring"
  • Right-click on the "login" keyring.
  • Select "Change password"
  • Enter your old password and leave the new password blank.

This did not work...

Go to (Unity button)/Passwords and Keys
On tab Passwords choose the proper key (I'd got only one, so you may need to find proper key). Right-click on it and Delete.
Restart Chromium

It'll ask for password --- do not type any and continue.
Choose "Use unsafe storage"
