No default keyring and does not unlock on login

[David White]

On a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 numbat, gnome-keyring does not seem to be properly configured.

If I attempt to add an online account via settings > online accounts, after authentication with the online account gnome-keyring prompts me to create a default keyring because one does not exist yet, so I cancelled.

Opening gnome-keyring reveals there is no entry under Passwords when I think there should be a "Login" password keyring that's automatically unlocked on login.

Setting a new password via settings > system > users creates a new Loging keyring. However, this keyring is not automatically unlocked on login.

So, whenever I first use an app after login that uses a keyring, such as connecting to Google drive via Nautilus, I'm prompted for the keyring password.
