You need to have no password set for your keyring, that's what I've
always done, but I'm sorry I can't remember how to do that. Seahorse is
the program that I've always installed to do keyring management,
perhaps that lets you change password to an empty one?
I recently installed Bullseye on a new PC and just now realise I didn't
have to do anything special for the keyring, Evolution just worked
without needing keyring password.
