Thank you for your bug report. Are you using auto-logging? The keyring needs to be unlocked with a password when you start the session, if you use password login and the keyring has the same secret then it's automatically unlocked but otherwise the first software to try to use it is going to trigger the prompting...

When starting Spotify, on some occasions gnome-keyring prompts to be unlocked, on others not. This behaviour has been observed both when gnome-keyring has been unlocked in advance as well as when not. I have not added my Spotify password to gnome-keyring. * same behaviour as described above when starting Lutris. Did also not add any Lutris related passwords to gnome-keyring. * similar behaviour is observed with other applications where no passwords have been added to gnome-keyring. Whether or not I actually unlock the keyring, it has no functional impact in these cases.
