password dialog for chrome on automatic login

Thank you for your bug report, that's not a bug though. The purpose of a keyring is to provide secure storing, if you could access the stored passwords without using any authentification then anyone could read those. You can always set no password on your keyring if that's what you want though

I can type my login password then enter.
But if I just close that dialog there is no difference.

So, I do not think this bug is invalid.

And if it is an opinion: how do you like this on your phone ?

like what? you are just bugging the wrong people/component, chrome uses gnome-keyring to have a secure storage, if you want that to be optional file a bug against chrome, gnome-keyring is just doing its job by protecting your credential by a password, that's what the component is for there

There are some fundamental changes in thinking how an system should work.
Thanks for your input.

Appearing keyring password dialog in Chromium web browser after automatic login setup problem can be solved by instaling gdm and purging lightdm package (sudo apt-get install gdm && sudo apt-get purge lightdm ). Sometimes keyring password dialog problem can be fixed only after creating a new user.

Btw, I've noticed, that seahorse and GNOME Shell in Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) with lightdm crashes if you enter a blank password in Seahorse keyring password changing dialog.
But crash doesn't appear when lightdm is removed and gdm is used instead, that's why keyring password dialog in Chromium web browser after automatic login setup can be dismissed by instaling gdm and purging lightdm :)

See bug #1242654 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012844 , https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169320 for more info about seahorse and GNOME Shell crashes when empty password is used for keyring
