Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome-Keyring not unlocking with Slim Autologin

[Stephen Griffiths]

Thanks for you reply Mark.

The way you put it makes sense. I guess the option is whether I would like
to have the security risk of having my passwords open without needing any
kind of authentication. But that depends on whether I can bypass needing to
enter a password on autologin in the first please, or if it's not possible.
