it should use the encryption passphrase to auto unlock the keyring after the autologin It doesn’t, hence the need to remove the password. Password only comes back every once in a while, rather than every login. Maybe a bad combination of desktop environment/session manager? LightDM with XFCE in my case.

Did you try to set the password the same as your encryption passphrase? But dunno, I have no idea if that works on your combo.

Some hints here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring#PAM_step Alternatively, if using GDM and LUKS, GDM can unlock your keyring if it matches your LUKS password. For this to work, you need to use the systemd init in your mkinitcpio.conf as well as the appropriate kernel parameters, and you should make sure that your system’s real-time clock is set to UTC rather than local time (see [2]). See [3] for more details. When using a display manager, the keyring works out of the box for most cases. GDM, LightDM, LXDM, and SDDM already have the necessary PAM configuration. For a display manager that does not automatically unlock the keyring edit the appropriate file instead of /etc/pam.d/login as mentioned below.
