keyring

The following applies to I-MATH Thinlinc session.

The Keyring application on thinlinc uses Gnome-Keyring as data store. Different programs uses the Gnome-Keyring to store passwords, e.g. Google Chrome, Owncloud, ... Whenever such an application asks for credentials from the keyring, the 'gnome-keyring-daemon' is started in the background. 

If the 'gnome-keyring-daemon' starts the first time, it asks for a master password, to encrypt all further data (typically user/password credentials). 

Master password lost

In case the master password is unknown, the keyring database can be deleted (including loosing all stored passwords) - If the keyring has never been actively used, this is not a big loss. 

• Start Applications > Accessoires > Passwords and Keys
• Delete entries under 'Passwords'Passwords

Password & Secrets: Gnome-Keyring

We recommend to use keepassx instead of Gnome-Keyring. 

To check the credentials stored in Gnome-Keyring, open 'Applications > Acessoires > Passwords & Keys'Keys
