After update to new chrome browser "google-chrome-103.0.5060"
A popup shows up:
"choose password for new keyring"
No explanation what is it, how to change it etc. Is it needed?
Was it discuss before?
I don't use Chrome but google found this.

This may help too.

Does one of those help? They seem to address the problem in slightly
different ways.

Thanks, there is a lot of information how to by-pass it but very
little explanation which application request it or why is it there.
One thing I read makes it sound like it is for a built in password
remembering tool. I know Firefox and Seamonkey has the same but I
disable those since I use BitWarden anyway. One would think there would
be a setting in preferences to just disable all that. I suspect few use
them given the popularity of LastPass, BitWarden and other tools that
are much more secure and portable. Maybe looking for a password tool
setting would help. I tried Chrome ages ago, didn't like it at all.
That was several years ago so I'm clueless on it now. Just thought
those suggestions might help.

Starting chrome with "--password-store=basic" solved the problem.
You found a solution that works. That's great. Now you can get back to
doing more important things. ;-)

By upgrading one of my system, I've just noticed this behaviour is enforced (I
think) by new package that was pulled by emerge:
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-keyring-42.1 USE="pam ssh-agent (-selinux)
-systemd -test"
Upgrading just "chrome" did not ask me for any keyring password.
I don't use gnome, I use XFCE but I guess one of the package pull this as a
dependency.
