Something happened to my keyring, I think chrome asked for a new password to create a new keyring and erased the old one, but now the process repeats. I save a few passwords and then it resets it again.
How do I completely swipe/remove/erase the keyring, so that this problem stops?
On Ubuntu 13.10 or later:
rm ~/.local/share/keyrings -fr
Next time, when setup your keyring question appears just don't setup any.
Open ~/.gnome2/keyrings/, remove all the files there that end with .keyring.
Next time keyring shows up for any reason do not enter a password for it and verify that you want to use unsafe storage. Keyring will still save your passwords and will not ask you again for a password.
Another option is to disable keyring so the deamon does not run but then you wont have keyring saving your passwords for you common programs.
A way I liked is the old way and it worked:
Press Alt+Ctrl+T.
Then, the terminal opens up, and then in there enter:
passwd
joeri@joeri-NC10:~$ passwd
Nieuw UNIX-wachtwoord invoeren:
Nieuw UNIX-wachtwoord herhalen:
passwd: wachtwoord is met succes aangepast
joeri@joeri-NC10:~$ sudo emacs
[sudo] password for joeri:
joeri@joeri-NC10:~$ ^C
joeri@joeri-NC10:~$
