How do I disable "Enter password for default keyring" when opening Google Chrome?

Thank you kindly for your reply @limaunion ! Just as you were typing out your suggestion, I posted this reply:

I have found a working solution! The forum post [ I can not post links ] suggests these following commands:

sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon-old
sudo killall gnome-keyring-daemon

I executed them and the next reboot it did no longer ask for my ‘default keyring password’.

Now, as there was literally zero context provided, I am wondering what consequences these commandos have for my system. Why does it result in no longer needing to enter a password and why isn’t it the default when using Manjaro?

I’m quite sure nobody finds to have a more productive OS by needing to enter it, so there must be a reason it is enabled and a catch to disabling it using the provided commands - I’d like to know the catch because I want to learn everything about Manjaro before I start recommending it and installing it on the computers of my friends and relatives.
