When I boot my computer the wifi does not connect and when I click the link in 'network connections' I get a link to Unlock the Keyring.

I am told that the Login Keyring did not get unlocked when I logged in. What can I do to change this?

Your desktop environment wants you to store your wireless password in the keyring, which is sort of an encrypted password vault local to that computer and which is password protected on the local computer.

Your user agent icon says Ubuntu. Could you tell us specifically what distro/version and what desktop environment you are using? (The user agent icons for many Ubuntu derivatives, not just for Ubuntu, say "Ubuntu.")

it's a feature.
you have to enter your password at least once, for security reasons.
i'm guessing you have autologin enabled?

I have linux Mint 17.3, cinnamon desktop.
When I boot to startup I must enter the login password.
Thanks

As an aside, as I use KeePassX for my passwords, a desktop environment that attempts to kidnap me into using a keyring most certainly motivates me to explore new realms in profanity.

it is not clear what your problem is.

can you unlock your keyring?

do you have to enter your password more than once?

are you annoyed by the fact that you have to enter your password more than once?

is something actually not working on your system?

please read the first link in my signature.
or, even better, read this.
