I just noticed that I'm having a problem:
I have a external SSD with a encrypted partition on it.
At some point I must've accidentally enabled the "Remember forever" function for the password on my notebook which I didn't really want to do.
I tried to find the key in seahorse but I could only find the keys for my ssh backup and the backup encryption.

I've looked at other solutions to try to find the password but thanks to Bug #1144703 those keys apparently don't have attributes (which I can't confirm since I can't see the keys) so I couldn't really do anything using secret-tool

On my other computer it still works as it should; it gives me a password prompt.
Is there any way to remove just this specific key without needing to resort to just deleting the entire keyring?

System Info: 

Ubuntu 16.04
Kernel: 4.17.9-041709-generic
cryptsetup 1.6.6
seahorse 3.18.0

Thank you in advance!

  • I don't intend to make my keyring unsafe. This is not an option for me as it would compromise security. I only want seahorse to accurately show me my stored keys. – Elo I Jul 26 '18 at 21:30
  • You could change it back. It was an option that could solve your problem – RobotHumans Jul 26 '18 at 21:34
  • Solved it by upgrading my system to 18.04. The problem doesn't exist here – Elo I Jul 31 '18 at 12:55

    The problem does indeed exist on (Xubuntu) 18.04. I was experiencing it just now. The solution was to "replace" (restart?) the Gnome keyring daemon: gnome-keyring-daemon -r. Now I'm being prompted for my external drive passphrase in Thunar, as desired. – Martin Spacek May 05 '19 at 13:42
