@sarahkittyy Can you open the output panel and choose "Account" from the dropdown, and copy-paste the output from there?

Thanks! Writing the token to the keychain is failing, so it seems like there's an issue with the way gnome-keyring is configured on your system. I'd like to pop up a notification in this case pointing to documentation on how to fix this. Can you see if adding .local/share/keyrings/ to your home directory fixes this, or deleting .local/share/keyrings/default if you have such a directory?

[sarahkittyy]

@RMacfarlane ~/.local/share/keyrings/ exists, but is empty

Edit: cd ~/.local/share && ls -l | grep keyrings
drwx------ 2 sarahkitty sarahkitty 4096 Jul 22 2019 keyrings

I fixed it! Steps I took:

1. In ~/.xinitrc:

# not sure if this is necessary
eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK 

source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh

2. Install and run seahorse
3. File => New Keyring => Name it "login"

After that it works perfectly :)

This doesn't seem to work if you are using KDE. The error I get is

Writing login information to the keychain failed with error 'The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files'.

I found a solution which can be seen here under the "solution" header:
https://rtfm.co.ua/en/linux-the-nextcloud-client-qtkeychain-and-the-the-name-org-freedesktop-secrets-was-not-provided-by-any-service-files-error/

As a summary, the solution (I am on arch) was to do install gnome keyring and qtkeychain

$ yay -S qtkeychain gnome-keyring

Verify it is present with

$ ls -l /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ | grep secret
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 122 Oct 29 11:38 org.freedesktop.secrets.service

$ cat /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.secrets.service
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.secrets
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets

At this point I was able to log in. When I did, I did get a prompt that an application was trying to save something to a keyring and prompted for a password for a new default keyring. Once I did that everything seems to have worked fine.

In kubuntu 20, installing gnome-keyring was enough for me.

sudo apt install gnome-keyring
