(Alternative) solution proton-vpn-gtk-app and gnome-keyring?

Here I am again with keyring problems.

I'd say that the protonvpn gui app can not access or read the keyring(file).
For half a year now I get the "Choose password for new keyring" dialog box after each boot on my laptop.
All this time I had my prios elswhere. Now I dive further into it. Problem seems bigger than before I used proton-vpn-gtk-app.

Possible because the keyring has new lines.

I tried to place all the file content (for one default keyring file) on one line, but it did not solve the problem.

I like the fprint options for my laptop and I don't want to enter a password after each boot for protonvpn.

Can you please help me on my way for an alternative solution?
- I think that fprint at boot does not combine nicely with autoconnnect for protonvpn-gtk-app
Can this be disabled and leaving intact further fprint functions (for the command line for example)?
On my (none fprint) computer/PC there has never been a single autoconnect password error.
Just typing in my password in the TTY after each boot once is waay better than all this keyring mess.

- The password for protonvpn-gtk-app autoconnect through a file or a an other option than gnome-keyring

Simply disabling

auth sufficient pam-fprintd-grosshack.so

Does not work for alternative solution 1.

Simple adding a login.conf with (username and password) file to my xinitrc file folder and an ".ovpn" file with auth-user-pass login.conf to my home path does not work for alternative solution 2.
