My system (on which I'm the only user) has full-disk encryption turned on, and I thus have the same password for both the encryption password and my user account. Likewise, I have automatic login turned on so I don't have to type my password twice, as it would be quite redundant.

With automatic login turned on, I thus changed my password for my default keyring to be nothing, as the security of full-disk encryption solves all of the needs that a keyring password would for me.

Issue is that for some strange reason the keyring password miraculously keeps resetting to the password of my user account. I don't know why, I don't know how, but it's been happening for at least the past couple of months, awaiting me to make an Ubuntu One account so I could report the issue.

The machine that's affected has been wiped at least three times over the past few months (due to various reasons), and the issue has also happened on another machine I was temporarily using at one point.
