OK… I’m old school here. Cut my teeth on AT&T System 5 UNIX probably before most of you were born!
I don’t understand keyrings or why I want it or need it. Now I don’t need a dissertation on why I’m a fool or why it’s the only thing to do or I hate security. This is a personal laptop, only me as a user. Don’t use it for web browsing or games or email or anything like that. Can it just be turned off?
Even if I try to use it on AL 10, I keep getting prompted over and over and over again:
An application wants to create a new keyring called “Default keyring”. Choose the password you want to use for it.
If I enter a password, I just get the same prompt again and again.
Any way to shut this annoying “feature” off? None of this ever happened on any AL 9 system.
Thanks.
Are you referring to Godot here? I don’t think it even has keyring integration in the first place, so a keyring prompt shouldn’t appear when using it. One exception would be for an editor plugin that tries to call into the keyring somehow (e.g. as a GUI frontend to sudo), if it wants to run commands as superuser.
Linux keyrings can typically be made a no-op by using an empty password for them. If you do so, the keyring will still be active but you will never see a password prompt for it. This makes its behavior closer to Windows which doesn’t have a concept of a keyring.
