I'm just feeding off your words such as key login. I don't know if
it's related or not, but I've been having that occasional extra step
that shows up before you can access your browser. I can't remember the
exact message, but last time it was something to the effect that
something didn't toggle on (login key didn't get unlocked?), likely at
bootup, and that it had something to do with keyring(s).

"Coincidentally" and/or maybe not was that debian-archive-keyring just
updated so maybe something else related also upgraded at the same
time. Be it related or not, I haven't seen that message since but have
only rebooted maybe once or twice. It could end up happening again on
the next reboot. Time will tell.... :)
