Public bug reported: On automatic login, SDDM does not unlock gnome-keyring, which suspends the boot process and asks for a password. The boot process blocks until the password is entered. Apparently, the boot process stops because Pidgin is in the autostart list and it requires access to the keyring.
The default keyring has a password that is the same as the password of the user that logs in automatically.
