Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
When you install Ubuntu, the "login" keyring is created in Seahorse
using the supplied login password, which is then automatically unlocked
when the user logs in.
However, when you change your user account password with users-admin,
the "login" keyring is not updated. Which means that after the the
user's next logged out and back in again, the next time they use an
application which wants access to the keyring, they're prompted for a
password when they never were before -- which would normally be no
problem, except that the password the dialogue needs is their *previous*
login password, which is not at all obvious.
If you want the keyring to be automatically unlocked when you log in
again, every time you want to change your password, you have to do it
twice -- in "Encryption & Keyrings" as well as in "Users & Groups".
When I first came across this, it was actually about six months (during
which I'd changed my password several times) by the time I first used an
app which wanted access to the keyring (nm-applet); so I had to try and
remember what password I used when I first installed Ubuntu -- and that
only once I'd worked out that was what it wanted.
Expected behaviour: When a user changes their password with users-admin,
users-admin should update the login keyring.
Version: Hardy, so 2.22.0-0ubuntu9; seahorse 2.22.2-0ubuntu1.
(I would have thought that someone would have filed this already, but I
can't find it if they have. Surely I can't be the only person who's
changed their password?)
