gnome-keyring for Debian ======================== Password caching ---------------- GNOME keyring caches the passwords in memory, and when asked to, it will store them on disk (in .gnome2/keyrings). They are encrypted with the AES128 cipher, using a master password as key. Login keyring ------------- If you use GDM, and libpam-gnome-keyring is installed, the GNOME keyring daemon is spawned directly at the time of authentication, and the keyring named "login" is unlocked. This keyring uses the authentication token as a master password. Otherwise, it is launched by the session manager, and you will be asked for a password for the "Default" keyring. If you change your authentication password (using passwd or gnome-control-center for example), the password for the login keyring should be updated automatically. SSH agent --------- The GNOME keyring includes the functionality of the SSH agent, and it can break some setups, especially if ssh-agent is started by hand. You can disable it by removing the gnome-keyring-ssh element from the startup applications.
