I am the original reporter of #637702. It sounds like the same bug I
originally reported, which persisted throughout 10.10. This bug is
indeed still affecting me and is very annoying. My current "default"
keyring, contains Gwibber, 4 Empathy accounts, Ubuntu One, and 2 Desktop
Couch user authentications. My "login" keyring does not contain any
access rights. Do other people in this bug report have Empathy and
Gwibber as startup applications (or X number of total applications that
access the keyring equalling the number of times they're prompted for a
keyring password)?

It seems as though once the original keyring is created, if a new
applications needs keyring access, it will cause a new prompt for your
keyring at login. Some solutions presented on askubuntu.com (
http://askubuntu.com/questions/7578/unlock-keyring-promts-three-times-
instead-one-time ) suggest deleting the keyring and after you're
prompted to create a new keyring at next login, everything works fine.
To me, this suggests that the problem is in the process of giving a new
application keyring access (if you follow me). I wonder what would
happen if someone who that solution "fixed" the problem added a new
keyring-accessing application to their startup programs. My guess is
then they'd be prompted for their keyring password twice, and the
problem would no longer be "fixed" for them.
