Is --password-store=basic unsafe if I never save passwords?

[justsomeone1]

not sure if your arch issue is related to that or not

Keyring requires new password

Hello @scamidge i think the issue not related to brave but to pam setup so to make sure that the issue not related to brave could you install chrome (or open any app that use the keyring) then use chrome to login to some site then reboot then open chrome and see if you get the same keyring password screen or not here a solution from the team of manjaro you well need app called seahorse to work using gui hope that help and have a nice day

read the whole post and see if it help or not

and for the --password-store arg from https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044860011-How-Do-I-Use-Command-Line-Flags-in-Brave

it say

Specifies which encryption storage backend to use. Possible values are kwallet, kwallet5, gnome, gnome-keyring, gnome-libsecret, basic. Any other value will lead to Chrome detecting the best backend automatically. TODO(crbug.com/571003): Once PasswordStore no longer uses the Keyring or KWallet for storing passwords, rename this flag to stop referencing passwords. Do not rename it sooner, though; developers and testers might rely on it keeping large amounts of testing passwords out of their Keyrings or KWallets.

not sure if basic will be the default encypt or unencrypted

so see if the seahorse help or not and have a nice day
