After update to new chrome browser "google-chrome-103.0.5060"
A popup shows up:
"choose password for new keyring"
No explanation what is it, how to change it etc. Is it needed?
Was it discuss before?

I don't use Chrome but google found this.

Does one of those help? They seem to address the problem in slightly
different ways.

Thanks, there is a lot of information how to by-pass it but very
little explanation which application request it or why is it there.

One thing I read makes it sound like it is for a built in password remembering tool. I know Firefox and Seamonkey has the same but I
disable those since I use BitWarden anyway. One would think there would
be a setting in preferences to just disable all that. I suspect few use them given the popularity of LastPass, BitWarden and other tools that
are much more secure and portable. Maybe looking for a password tool setting would help. I tried Chrome ages ago, didn't like it at all.
That was several years ago so I'm clueless on it now. Just thought
those suggestions might help.

Starting chrome with "--password-store=basic" solved the problem.

You found a solution that works. That's great. Now you can get back to doing more important things. ;-)

By upgrading one of my system, I've just noticed this behaviour is
enforced (I think) by new package that was pulled by emerge:
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-keyring-42.1 USE="pam ssh-agent (-selinux) -systemd -test"
Upgrading just "chrome" did not ask me for any keyring password.
I don't use gnome, I use XFCE but I guess one of the package pull this
as a dependency.

Run
$ emerge --pretend --unmerge gnome-base/gnome-keyring
to get the list of packages depending on "gnome-base/gnome-keyring".
Then check each of these packages for a set USE flag causing "gnome- base/gnome-keyring" to be pulled in. At least in many cases such a USE
flag will be named just "gnome-keyring".

Since its pretended, the result is the same, ultimately.

Actually, none of them gives you any info about why a package is
installed, and --unmerge doesn't even try to check. Without --pretend
it's perfectly happy to let you shoot yourself in the foot. What you
actually need to get portage to tell you what requires the package in question is
# emerge --pretend --depclean --verbose gnome-keyring

- if I enter password for the keyring, how to change it in the future.
- do I need to keep that password, will I be ask to use the password
- which application application are using this keyring?

The secret-service ebuild contains
RDEPEND="|| (
gnome-base/gnome-keyring
app-admin/keepassxc
)"
so emerge -1 keepassxc will keep gnome-keyring out, but you need one of
these password managers.

app-crypt/libsecret-0.20.5-r3 pulled in by:
app-crypt/gcr-3.41.0 requires >=app-crypt/libsecret-0.20
And "app-crypt/gcr" was an upgrade.

Could disabling a USE flag remove that dependency? It may not be google-chrome itself but something else it depends on. Using the --tree option may help here. Masking the keyring package may force emerge to
shine some light on what needs the package as well. It should grumble
about it being masked along with what needs it.
Sort of odd that something like this pops up all of a sudden with no
notice of the change.

Although I don't use Chrome, so I wouldn't notice anyways :-)
