Users who change their login password end up in a situation where random applications start asking for an new password (as the gnome-keyring dialog pops up). Newbie users get lost by the situation and their apps stop working correctly. Steps to reproduce: 1. Login as any user 2. Use some app that relies on gnome-keyring, e.g. Deja Dup when it makes encrypted backups 3. Open Seahorse to view gnome-keyring, and manually check that the "login" keyring actually contains some keys. 4. Click on the username in Unity upper panel, right corner 5. Select User Accounts 6. Click on the dotted area near "Password" 7. Change password. 8. Logout and log in again 9. Open the app used earlier, e.g. Deja Dup and try to make a backup with the old settings. 10. Deja Dup tries to retrieve the key from the keyring and fails, complaingin that the login password is out of sync with the keyring password. Repeatability: always Expected result: The login password should not get out of sync and everything should just work. Workarounds: a) change password using "passwd" in terminal, since that is correctly connected via PAM to the gnome-keyring updater. b) choose a good password at installation or user creation time and never change it c) manually sync the login keyring via Seahorse, click on "login" keyring with second mouse button, from context menu select "Change password" and enter your old login password (if you remember it anymore) to unlock and twice your current login password to save it as the new keyring password.
