handle with the current status quo

Thanks for looking into this. I don't know much about that stuff, but is
there a related issue to watch in some other repo?

Title:
  Choose password for new keyring the first time chromium-browser is
  started on each session

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I get this popup the first time I start chromium-browser:
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1446379/why-am-i-always-asked-to-
  create-a-new-keyring either manually or via a startup script.

  Closing and restarting does not create the popup until I reboot. After
  the reboot, the password prompt is back again.

  What I do is just enter enter enter with empty password and life moves
  on. Under "Passwords and Keys" in settings, I just get a new "Default
  keyring" every time this happens.

  My disk is encrypted, I don't have a password to login, and I don't
  want to type any passwords after unlocking my disk during boot.

  Ubuntu 24.04, snap chromium version 126.0.6478.126.
