I am left to wonder when Brave will finally/eventually get their act together …this problem is as old as sand…it has raised its ugly head now for many years…and still no effective solution. i am using Linux Mint 22…the highest rated distro on distrowatch…and it behaves beautifully in every other way…It is only Brave that spoils it.

There was a time when to get rid of the offending ereor, three click on the cancel icon would clear ot from the screen…now it takes just on click or a tap on the esc key.

@Condobloke I remember you posting about this at An application wants access to the keyring "default keyring"

I didn’t go read through it all again, so sorry if repeating, but did you make sure to check two things below?

  1. If you’re using automatic login, the keyring doesn’t get unlocked at startup because no password is entered.

  2. Making sure you’re unlocking keyring before Brave? More details on that via link below. Different Linux, but same concept

Borrowed from ChatGPT, but other thing to have you double check:

Ensure Keyring Password Matches User Login Password

  • If your Linux user password and keyring password don’t match, the keyring won’t unlock automatically when logging in.
  • To fix this:
    1. Open Passwords and Keys (search for it in the menu).
    2. Right-click the login keyring and select Change Password.
    3. Set the password to match your current login password.
