I am logging in with a password (i.e. not auto-login) and after about 10 seconds this keyring dialog pops up. Wireless is already working by this time, and continues to work even if you cancel the dialog.

I have tried in Passwords & Keys setting both default and login passwords to the same, but this made no difference.

I can't help thinking that the only reason we don't have thousands of people complaining about this, is that most people just blindly enter the password and don't worry too much about it.

The popular workaround seems to be to remove the password altogether from the keyring, and thus do away with security altogether. I appreciate that we all think the bugs that affect us are a priority, but I am surprised this only warrants a low priority tag, given the security implications.
