Bug Description

When I use my Ubuntu (14.04) computer, the keyring window pops up at random moments, for example when I'm watching a YouTube video, it asks me to authenticate for something. What 'something' really is, isn't specified in the window itself. I don't know wether I should fill in my password, since I don't know which program requests a keyring unlock.

I suppose it's a papercut because as a user you show know where to authenticate for.
