How to pop up the keyring password dialog box when Chrome starts under Fedora

It’s been a long time with Fedora. The browser has been using Chrome. The Gnome shell uses keyring to save passwords. By default, our passwords are stored in the relevant files in the ~/.gnome2/keyrings/directory, sometimes we You can clear the saved password or password saved by deleting the files in this directory, but there is a problem with the prompt input.

In Fedora17's Gnome environment, Chrome uses keyring to save passwords by default, so when Chrome starts, it will ask us for the keyring password, which is usually used to store the account password we store on the webpage. Although this has a high security, it is very troublesome to enter the password every time the dialog box is popped up. Finally, a method can be found to remove the dialog box, but this method has relatively reduced security. This method is to set –password-store=basic when Chrome starts, I will directly modify the Exec in chrome.desktop to Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome –password-store=basic Chrome There are generally three ways to store passwords:

–password-store=gnome (to use GNOME Keyring) –password-store=kwallet (to use KWallet) –password-store=basic (to use the plain Text store)

It is also common to use

–password-store=detect

to automatically detect storage methods
