Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
On this computer only, everytime I turn on the computer, I have to add my Messengers like AIM (which is the only one I use). Then a keyring comes up asking for a password. No password for this computer works.
On my laptop, I do not have this problem. The only difference is, is that I enter a password to get into the OS on mine. But I'm pretty sure it worked before when I didn't have a login password set for the OS.

When you setup the AIM account threw empathy it is trying to store the login credentials in the
Gnome Keyring. Because you are not inputing the proper password it is not saving the data.
Therefore the next time you log into empathy your aim account is not available.
This is not a bug. This is expected behavior.
