Unlock keyring pop-up each time I run neovim #288
Description
This started a couple of days ago. Every time I run neovim, a pop-up shows up that says:
Unlock Keyring
Authentication required
An application wants access to the keyring "Default", but it is locked.
Then there is a field for a password (I have no idea what the password for this would be, I don't remember setting this up. There is also a button to Cancel.
I just cancel, and everything works just fine. Copilot is able to give to give suggestions, and :Coplito status says Ready. Its just annoying to have the pop-up every time I open neovim.
The pop-up doesn't show up if I launch nvim with the --clean flag, or if I remove the copilot.vim repo.

That's probably a system keyring (secret store). The password should be your local account's password I guess.

I get this a lot as well, and it's like it doesn't like what I know is my password. So, I went to the Keychain (on macOS) and deleted the entry for
copilot-language-serverand then...no more popup. Copilot seems to still workDJDuque commentedon Jun 26, 2026
Ok, yes, it is my local user password. But why did this start a few days ago randomly? I guess I can try the suggestion above to make it stop. Thanks
