qk4-li3 I'm not going to do it if I just can avoid it.

Your computer, and your choice in what you do with it. I suspect you'll change your mind when you're a little bit older, but what you do about it now doesn't affect me at all. I'm just wondering why you ask for help in the forum when you don't really want any.

You can ignore this reply, too, if you want to. I won't be trying to help you again unless your attitude changes.

      qk4-li3 I have same situation with using Brave browser, and also having auto-login enabled.
      Was annoying for a while, but I made peace with it. How long does it take to type in your password, a couple of seconds.

          Well... what is then the purpose of auto-login? It becomes useless exercise. Why does it even exist?
          edit. was this blunt expression too...(?)

                WetGeek Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I cant' see how I was rude. Forgive me my choice of words. Was I too "blunt", perhaps? English is not my native language, Finnish is. Finns tend to be perhaps too "straight" with communication. Or perhaps I overlooked the amount of text you kindly wrote. I apologize.

                  It's sometimes hard to write something when there's no "tone" in text.

                  I'm genuinely wondering this "auto-login" phenomenon.

                  Vivaldi stores some data (saved passwords, iirc) on the keyring and the automatic login unfortunately doesn't unlock the keyring automatically. The behavior is the same with gnome-keyring and kwallet. There are workarounds for that, such as setting an empty password as the keyring password, but you're on your own to evaluate the potential security implications on that.

                  In my point of view, you weren't rude.

                    No, "rude" isn't the word I would have used. (And I didn't.)

                      Yep, thanks this is a bit like what @Sebastian wrote too, well, hmm... it's just the way things are then. I find it very strange though. I mean auto-login really appears to be "useless exercise" then. I'm sure I'm not the last person who will ponder this when it "works" like this.

                        It's Linux--you got to roll with it.
                        I would just
                        A) rip all passwords out of vivaldi (disable it) and cut and paste from a password manager so you never have use that stupid keyring again.
                        then B) uninstall/reinstall vivaldi
                        or
                        C) use another browser purely for login accounts.
                        or
                        I wonder if you monkey with anything in /.config/vivaldi vivaldi settings?
                        or
                        type 'disable vivaldi keyring prompt' into DDG and see if there's an easy fix
                        or
                        see if it persists if you make solus autostart it

                        that is the end of my brain🙂

                          Hah! How uplifting post!
                          One thing... I DON'T have any passwords stored in vivaldi. I never store any passwords in my browser.
                          Other points you made... I must think about them for awhile
                          Another thing comes to mind: This is quite recent install of Solus and I remember enabling auto-login (during install), which later I found out that, that setting didn't stick. So I enabled it again via Budgie Control Centre!
                          I have not messed with ./config/vivaldi settings. Vivaldi has been updated like everything else in this quite recent install.
                          DDG=duckduckgo, right?

                              Could it be as easy and a clean cache/history?
                              or uninstall/reinstall plus throw away to trash every folder connected to vivaldi in /home, after uninstall..
                              you lose your bookmarks but maybe no keyring

                                brent No. Vivaldi and other Chromium browsers want keyring access regardless of whether there are any saved passwords.

                                        [deleted] interesting. the only chrome derivative I run is ungoogledand it never activates keyring access. (Eloston probably baked that out of ungoogled).

                                        But all the times I used Vivaldi I never got a keyring login prompt either. Or all the times I used Brave.

                                        Wonder why some get afflicted with this and some don't?
                                        Now I wonder if there is a tie-in to the autologin at boot?

                                            brent You probably don't have the automatic session login enabled. When you log in by entering your password, the keyring gets unlocked right away.
