I just about understand the point of the keyring, and it's fair that every time I install or delete an application I need to verify myself.

But really, why do I need to sign in every time I switch on my PC? I'm the only registered user, there is no guest account, my wife couldn't open anything more tricky than 'Bing', is there a way to disable user sign in?

Apropos of nothing, I installed Ubuntu 18.10 yesterday.

You'll have to turn the auto-login feature on if you want to log in to your system without providing the password all the time.

Open the "Settings" application and navigate to Details > Users. You should see an "automatic login" option. If the option is greyed out, first click the "unlock" button and enter your password. Then toggle on the "automatic login" option. After that you'll be able to log in without typing the password all the time.

If your issue is the keyring pop-up, something similar to this:

then remove the password and save it without a password next time you are asked.
