Azure Storage Explorer: "Password manager service is required" Error o

Hi all,

I'm trying to use Azure Storage Explorer on my Arch Linux system, installed via yay -S storageexplorer. However, when I launch it, I get the following message:

    "A password manager service is required to use Azure Storage Explorer. Ensure it is installed before starting the application again."

Here’s some relevant system info:

    Window manager: Qtile

    System is up to date.

Re: Azure Storage Explorer: "Password manager service is required" Error o

Azure Storage Explorer (and many other electron apps) requires a keying-compatible password manager service such as gnome-keyring. You will need to install gnome-keyring and probably also `ibsecret. I've never used Qtile before but there will probably be an option in the config files (usually in ~/.config/qtile) where you can tell qtile to start the service when your computer starts up. You'll need to do some research on how to do this but it should be simple enough.

After rebooting your computer you should be able to run ASE with no problems!
