Seahorse won't accept a blank password

oconnor663 · 2013-05-08 20:06:09

I want to set up automatic login, so I'm trying to blank the password on my login keyring. When I go through the change password flow in seahorse, though, it refuses to accept the blank password. I get a dialog with a grayed-out continue button, and all I can do is cancel. Is this a configuration issue? Any help appreciated.

According to the Wiki you should be prompted to accept "Use Unsafe Storage". You're not seeing that anywhere?

Correct. Most of the talk online seems to be about how to get to this point (View -> by keyring, etc.), but everything I've read suggests I should be seeing that button now.

I'm facing the same issue. Fresh install of Arch with gnome 3.8

Looks like this is getting fixed in 3.8.2
