Chrome - unlock authentication required before opening
- Thread starter darry1966
- Start date
First, I have no idea... I have some questions that might help.
So, how'd you install Chrome?
Did you install it with root or did you install it with sudo?
Hmm... Is the ~/.config/google-chrome where the config is stored?
Also, what happens if you enter your password into the authentication required window?

Ok put in root password and it stopped the problem. Weird cos I struck this problem before and that didn't work oh well will see if this works on future boot ups into this system.
I wonder if it somehow needs access to the keyring?
That's kinda what the symptoms describe, but I'm not sure why it'd let you get past it by pressing enter a few times - unless it then loads it from a different location with different permissions.
Again, I'm speculating based on the content you've posted.
Hmm... Do you have a master password for Chrome? Is that even possible in Chrome? I know you can in Firefox, where before it'll let you use stored passwords you have to authenticate with a master password.
Hopefully someone else will opine, but that it stops with the root password intrigues me.
Also, your signature indicates that you use Debian.

Just in case this type of garbage comes into play

(Resolved) Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead – TecAdmin
With the latest version of Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 11, users start getting a warning message during the GPG key import that “Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8))“. The apt-key stores the key file in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg or...

I had the same problem a few years back...so I found and used this and it worked but it removes all Browser passwords...so have them backed up.
The keyring is the safe in which some web browsers store the passwords for websites you visit. Some email clients, chat clients and remote access clients use the keyring too. Even your file manager might use it, for storing network share passwords.
Note: the keyring does not store your root password or user password! It only stores additional network (internet) related passwords.
The keyring password can be annoying when you use automatic login. Some web browsers invoke it when you want to store website passwords or when you have stored those in the past.
The most secure solution by far, is to simply turn off automatic login for your user account! But if you don't want to do that and if you never store passwords anyway (because you're about to leave the door of the password safe open permanently), this is how to disable the keyring password:
a. First delete the current user keyring. Don't be afraid: you won't remove your root password or your user password, but only your personal user keyring. Note: this will delete all the website passwords you've stored in your web browsers!
Proceed like this:
Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
Use copy/paste to transfer the following command line to the terminal:
rm -v ~/.local/share/keyrings/*.keyring
Press Enter.
b. The next time when you're being prompted for a keyring password, leave the password field blank (simply click Continue and then again Continue, thus agreeing to unsafe storage). That disables the keyring password for good.
c. Let your web browsers wipe any passwords they've stored, and configure them never to offer to store a password again.

July 23, 2022 .... https://tecadmin.net/resolved-warning-apt-key-is-deprecated/
I used the link I supplied back in post# 7 when I received the error message. I realise the wording is different......but try running the command : curl https://download.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
and if the answer is :
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
OK
Then proceed with the steps there.

The apt-key is being deprecated and your system knows that. But do you know what you should be doing for getting packages from external repositories?
