For the love of God, can anybody please… please… save me from this annoying, nagging “Choose password for new keyring” prompt every single time I launch a particular app? If I see this keyring prompt one more time, either the computer or myself, I’m gonna throw out the window! I don’t care if you ask me to pour chocolate syrup on and lick you. If that’s what it takes to get rid of this sh…t, I may even consider it!!! I can’t believe I said this!
It might have something to do with the following:

Nope, didn’t work!
Is there any keyring daemon ( should be named “demon”!!!) active, running in the background that we can disable to stop this whole keyring bullsh…it??? Any ideas?
You might want to get a little more specific re when and how that occurs
because:
no one else seems to have this issue
and therefore it seems likely that it has got to do with something you did to your setup that causes your “keyring bullsh…it” issue.
People are curious - and would like to help.
But they need something to go on …

don’t use autologin
or create a wallet with an empty password
select blowfish encryption with no password

that is very likely the cause and solution - but we will see … maybe 
I mean, there is not much info to give other than to say that the app in question is ProtonVPN.
It’s recently added to Official Repositories because it wasn’t there before. After each boot-up of Manjaro, when you launch ProtonVPN, it prompts you with “Choose password for new keyring”. I don’t put in any password. I just go ahead and click on “continue”.
I tried every possible option with “Choose password for new keyring”, but nothing has worked!
Manjaro boots up to auto-login. From the get-go, I set it up that way because I didn’t want to deal with entering a password every single time I boot up Manjaro. And I will stick with it.
How do I go about doing the second thing (create a wallet with an empty password and select blowfish encryption with no password) you said? Do I use “seahorse” (who the hell comes up with these weird names anyway???) or is it done in terminal with commands? Can you hold my hand and walk me through? They’re clean! Just wasted them! And I do swear I won’t make a move on you!
There is a lot of good reasons for avoiding autologin - and I am sure you have carefully considered all that can go very wrong if you allow unattended access to your system.
