We need pages on the keyring. Link to them from the section below on changing your keyring password. This page can still go final for 3.0.x without that, but leave this comment in for 3.2.

Not prompted to change keyring password on next login in 3.2, wording changed. Keyring pages still need adding. Bug 643445 indicates password hints not implemented yet in GDM.

It is a good idea to change your password from time to time, especially if you think someone else knows what your password is.

Feu clic al vostre nom al quadre superior, després feu clic a la imatge al costat del vostre nom per obrir la finestra de Comptes d'usuari.

Click the label next to Password.

The label should look like a series of dots or boxes if you already have a password set.

Enter your current password, then a new password. Enter your new password again in the Confirm password field.

You can also click the button next to the New password field to select a randomly generated secure password. These passwords are hard for others to guess, but they can be hard to remember, so be careful.

Click Change.

Make sure you choose a good password. This will help to keep your user account safe.

# Change the keyring password

If you change your login password, it may become out of sync with the keyring password. The keyring keeps you from having to remember lots of different passwords by just requiring one master password to access them all. If you change your user password (see above), your keyring password will remain the same as your old password. To change the keyring password (to match your login password):

Open the Passwords and Keys application from the Activities overview.

In the View menu, ensure By keyring is checked.

In the sidebar under Passwords, right-click on Login keyring and select Change Password.

Enter your Old Password, followed by your new Password, and Confirm your new password by entering it again.

Click OK.

You must have the seahorse package installed to use Passwords and Keys.
