Gajim requests for a password every application start

Hi,
I faced a problem with Gajim Jabber client on Arch Linux.
It requests for a password every application start, but works fine on Manjaro, which is also based on Arch Linux.
I've tried to install Gajim from community package and Git-version too, both gives the same result.
I get notification "Authentication failed: no-password" and client opens a window "Password required" and requires the password to enter.
Hope for your help!

Re: Gajim requests for a password every application start

It uses python-keyring which mandates you are using and storing the password in a relevant keyring implementation. During installation you will have seen a list of optional packages, explaining their function and how that relates to gaijim.
Depending on what your general environment is you have multiple options here, if you use gnome/GTK based you might want to set up gnome-keyring: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring
If you use plasma/KDE you'll want to install python-dbus and set up Kwallet: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet
If the dependencies aren't lying then keepassxc might be yet another option.

What environment are you using on Manjaro and what on Arch?
