Opera asking for the keyring

Hello

I am using Linux Mint 19.2 with Cinnamon.
I configured it to start Opera.dev at logon
When Opera tries to start, it triggers the prompt to read the Default Keyring with Gnome Keyring.

Does someone know why ?

thanks

It is because opera has to open gnome-keyring in order to get the passwords it has stored in it.
You have 3 ways to solve it

a) Make opera NOT use gnome-keyring, by launching it like so
opera-developer --password-store=basic

b) Make gnome-keyring's password blank (kinda dangerous if you store other stuff on it too, e.g. it stores the credentials for my samba server here), like so
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME/Keyring#Manage_using_GUI

c) Don't store credentials on the browser at all. Go to
opera://settings/privacy
and set every sub menu under autofill (passwords, payment methods and addresses and more) to not save anything

Solutions a and c will erase all your stored passwors obviously.

Thanks for the reply

I thought Opera used its own store because of the synchronization.

Thanks for the explanation
