Disable annoying authentication request on Electron apps? (thelemmy.club)

Hello guys, I have been annoyed at this pop-up as I have to exit it every time I open any Electron (chromium based apps). Does anyone here know how to disable it?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, that looks like gnome-keyring.

I'm order for it to login automatically, it needs to be named login ~~the same as your username(that is kwallet)~~ and have the same password.

Then when you launch electron apps, it's already unlocked and doesn't need a password.

If you need a GUI, try seahorse.

Don't know what distro you in, but you can get some intel here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring#PAM_step

Questionable alternative solution: remove the password from the wallet. I don't run one, but I've got drive encryption and rarely if ever save passwords.

Thanks for the answer. You are correct, it is gnome-keyring and I did have searhorse installed on Arch.

I followed the wiki to the letter but failed several times, it seemed like it was creating a new login key-ring every time on login. I will research it in more details some other time.

Thanks again mate!
