### Step 1a — Remove gnome-keyring (fixes "Authentication required" popup)
With autologin enabled, no password is ever typed at login, so `gnome-keyring` (the "Login" keyring) never gets unlocked automatically. This shows up as a recurring **"Authentication required — The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer"** popup whenever an app (Chrome, NetworkManager, etc.) tries to read a stored password.
Since this PC doesn't need the keyring (no GNOME apps depending on it), remove it:
```sh
sudo apt-get purge -y gnome-keyring gnome-keyring-pkcs11 libpam-gnome-keyring
sudo apt-get autoremove -y
sudo sed -i '/pam_gnome_keyring\.so/d' /etc/pam.d/sddm /etc/pam.d/common-password
```
Reboot to confirm the popup no longer appears.
> Trade-off: Chrome saved passwords/cookie encryption falls back to its weaker "Basic" store, and NetworkManager Wi-Fi passwords may need to be re-entered once. If a future setup needs the keyring kept, unlock it silently instead by opening **Passwords and Keys** (`seahorse`) → right-click **Login** → **Change Password** → set both new-password fields blank.
