Isn't there already a fix that makes the keychain use the login password? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028324 Is there some security issue with that, or can it just be implemented by default? As for renaming the "Available to All Users" box, how about "Always use saved encryption key

OS X does this by having multiple keychains - a "system" keychain that holds "common" items like WiFi passwords, and a "private" keychain that holds everything else. One thing to be aware of with all of this however is support for corporate-style WPA connections where a username/password pair (and

This problem has an easy solution, as stated in a previous comment by Jonathan Blackhall. Checking the "Available to all users" box solves the problem. So, now the real problem is to make people understand that checking this box will disable our famous prompt. I suggest to add a checkbox when firs

That's not how it works. The main purpose of the keyring is to actually encrypt the different passwords using a master password, which makes it impossible to retrieve the passwords without you entering the right key. So the whole problem is: how can we give users the choice not to encrypt their WiF

I'm not sure how this system works but as far as I understand, Network Manager asks for wireless password in Gnome Keyring.

Ok, I followed Jonathan's instructions and it works like charm. The problem is people doesn't know that making a wireless connection "Available to all users" means "No need to enter the keyring password". What about changing the message in the checkbox for a two-line "Available to all users / (No

I thought of this as a papercut, even though I knew the solution is not easy. I think that the best solution would be to create two keyrings, one private and one public. Of course, the user password is needed to write in both of them, but it is only needed to read the private one. Then, an applic

Just to add some more information to this, if you edit the Wireless Connection you're using and check the "Available to all users" box at the bottom, the network will connect automatically when booting. You still might get asked to unlock your keyring for other applications trying to access it (li
