What’s the security risk when setting the Gnome keyring password to blank on an FED system with autologin?
My system disk is full encrypted with luks. My Ubuntu logs in automatically, because I am the only user. But I still need to unlock my Gnome Keyring and I wonder, if there is any sense for that. Because I always unlock the keyring when I login, so it is always accessible while the computer is running. What if I would set the password to blank, what could be the security risks?
The only reason I can imagine is, if I would do any stupid like backing up the keyfile to a non encrypted device or sending it by mail, it would still be password locked. But I shouldn't do something like that anyway.
