Autolock keyring - Mint user (lemmy.org)

My keyring autounlocks at login when I put my password, that is good because I have a few apps that I want to autostart.

Now, it seems it stays unlocked after that. I don't need it after start up because I have my vault in keepass and really only use keyring for the couple of autostart apps I have. So it would make sense from a security standpoint that it would autolock eg after 1 minute of start up. Is this even ppssible? Does it make sense?

On q separate topic, I have other apps that do not seem to be requiring the keyring to sign in when opening them, like Steam, or my email account on the browser. Where are those passwords stored then if I don't see them in the keyring?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
