Can you give more details? macOS version? keyring version? What does keyring::keyring_is_locked() say?

Hi, gaborcsardi,

I found the keyring request the login password of my Mac PC. When i input the login password of my Mac PC, the error was missing. Is that normal? did Keyring need the login password of my Mac PC?

Best wishes,
hees
