So I keep getting this unlock keyring popup when I login to Ubuntu automatically. There is a fix here: How can I stop being prompted to unlock the 'default' keyring on boot?
I have been googling around for about an hour and the solution to this problem seems to always be the same: disregard security entirely by leaving the password blank OR turn off auto login.
I would really like to find a way to use the auto login feature AND avoid seeing this popup without leaving passwords unencrypted.
Is it possible to get this bug fixed upstream so that users wouldn't have to fight with this auto login defeating popup?
Thank you in advance!

There is no way to have a keyring password enabled, use auto login and disable the poppup. This is made by design.
The password should be entered some way. If you enable auto login, then you do not enter a password.
If anyone can start the system without entering any password, what is the reason to have a keyring password enabled?
Your suggestion does not make any sense at all. And it is not a bug. Thus it won't be fixed.
