I understand they are important and are what makes linux relatively secure compared to windows.
However, when I boot my PC, I don’t want to spend a whole minute to type my password into different promts that keep getting hidden behind other windows that are starting up. I am using Nobara KDE now, but previously when I was using Pop!_OS, none of these prompts showed up.
Currently I have 2 prompts after logging on. One for my keychain when discord autostarts, and one for flatpak when gpu-screen-recorder launches. Interestingly, discord works just fine, with auto logon, regardless of whether the keychain prompt gets canceled or filled with the password.
Any idea on how to get rid of them? I’d prefer if really only that startup prompt was gone, and it would still ask me for the password whenever it launches any other way.

I do this on every new install.
that seems to be exactly what im looking for. thanks
Np :)
To hazard a guess, this is a gnome keyring asking to be unlocked after login?
Caveat: it has been a few years since I was on gnome.
You can tie it to the login with the gnome keying PAM module.
I’m not sure what keyring exactly, but I would be suprised if it was the gnome keyring because I am using KDE
Bah, I read Nobara and assumed gnome. You said KDE right there.
Well, good news: Kwallet has a similar feature, albeit through an extra package: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Unlock_KDE_Wallet_automatically_on_login
Idk about the gpu screen recorder but for the keychain for Discord if you disable the KDE wallet subsystem (which is just in the kde system settings) it should stop asking. it’s never caused me an issue and made the discord popup go away. its a dirty solution but its what worked for me.
I’ll disable it and see what happens next reboot. Earlier I tried some flag when launching discord that was supposed to make the prompt go away but that didn’t work. Thanks for that tip.
edit: awesome! this worked. now I just need to figure out flatpak and the screen recorder :D

thanks for the tip! I haven’t gotten around to playing with polkit yet but I’ll try to see if I can make that work. I don’t think I’ve ever installed anything from the aur. probably a good time to try it out ^^
I really want to know this too, I’ve been looking for a fix for this but no luck. Waiting to hear replies
in case you’re wondering about discord specifically, turning off the KDE wallet subsystem in the system settings worked for me, since I didn’t use it anyways.
Subbed because I’d like to know, too
