Comment 36 for bug 1174162

This has been occurring for me now for several years. I have a large amount of passwords stored in chrome. The high CPU usage never really stops completely, as well as anytime chrome tries to retrieve a password, I have to wait about 10 seconds.

The fix is to rename the gnome-keyring-daemon which disables it and chrome then uses internal storage which is no problem. I'm aware I lose all secure storage this way, but it's intolerable otherwise.

Background: I probably have close to 1000 passwords stored. I use a passphrase to encrypt them on google's side.

Also: When gnome-keyring-daemon is running, any attempt to view stored passwords in the chrome settings screen results in a gray color for the entire dialog with no text visible.
