Is it possible to prevent Brave Browser from asking for keyring access?

Question

I recently installed the Brave Browser using the method on their website (I do not believe I used snap; I believe it was via apt). Every time I open it, the browser asks for me to enter my password so it can access my keyring. I do not want to do this.

Every time I start the browser, I have to "cancel" out of the keyring dialogue three times before it lets me go about my business. Is there a way I can prevent it from asking this question again?

I do not use auto-log in.

Solution

Check How to disable the "unlock your keyring" popup?

There's many ways.

I choose mine: remove gnome-keyring, I don't need it:

apt remove gnome-keyring

I'm pretty sure you can write an AppArmor profile that prevents Brave Browser from accessing the Keys & Password service in the first place. That will not be easy, however. You should start here: linux.org/threads/securing-ubuntu-with-apparmor.26523

Did you add Brave keyring?

@JoKeR I used the installation instructions from here brave-browser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/… and while the word "keyring" appears in the command, I do not know if it is installed or not. brave-keyring --version does not return anything. Do you know how to install it?

I try to figure it out too. Very annoying

Thanks for the helpful link... But what are the implications of removing gnome-keyring?

None if you don't use it explicitly.
