Idea #8365: Change keyring when password is changed

Written by waspinator the 11 May 08 at 14:05. Category: Security. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
When I changed my login password I had to manually change my keyring password also, otherwise I had to enter both my new password to login and then my old password to access my keyring.

It's seemingly small things like this that keeps ubuntu from being ready for the average windows user to switch to. I hope these details will be looked into for the next release.

If, and only if, the keyring password matches the old account password.

If you change my keyring password (which does not match my shell account password), I will have a cow.

That having been said, +1.

agreed.

It is extremely annoying that keyring is not tied into your main password.
