I am the original reporter of #637702. It sounds like the same bug I originally reported, which persisted throughout 10.10. This bug is indeed still affecting me and is very annoying. My current "default" keyring, contains Gwibber, 4 Empathy accounts, Ubuntu One, and 2 Desktop Couch user authentications. My "login" keyring does not contain any access rights. Do other people in this bug report have Empathy and Gwibber as startup applications (or X number of total applications that access the keyring equalling the number of times they're prompted for a keyring password)?

It seems as though once the original keyring is created, if a new applications needs keyring access, it will cause a new prompt for your keyring at login. Some solutions presented on askubuntu.com ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/7578/unlock-keyring-promts-three-times-instead-one-time ) suggest deleting the keyring and after you're prompted to create a new keyring at next login, everything works fine. To me, this suggests that the problem is in the process of giving a new application keyring access (if you follow me). I wonder what would happen if someone who that solution "fixed" the problem added a new keyring-accessing application to their startup programs. My guess is then they'd be prompted for their keyring password twice, and the problem would no longer be "fixed" for them.
