Here you go: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit#Bypass_password_prompt

I do this on every new install.

To hazard a guess, this is a gnome keyring asking to be unlocked after login?

Caveat: it has been a few years since I was on gnome.

You can tie it to the login with the gnome keying PAM module.

Subbed because I'd like to know, too

Comments until now where not really helpful.

I had a similar problem, but its not clear what password prompts you are using, as I dont use these software.

But I guess they have different causes.

You have saved Wifi networks and all just working and will not have borked your Kwallet. But for completion, for auto-unlock kwallet needs to

• use blowfish
• use an empty or your login password
• the wallet needs to be set as default in the systemsettings page (really confusing as the rest is done in the apps window)

But discord may use Gnome keyring, and I think there is no integration to autounlock that on KDE which sucks, as Spotube (I think) and some other apps use it too. You may want to disable keystore if that doesnt log you out.

The other thing with gpu-screen-recorder will probably be a polkit prompt because the app wants access to... you know GPU stuff.

I made a script to fix these prompts by automatically allowing certain polkit actions for users in the wheel group when logged in and not over ssh. Thats basic polkit config. You can add more for things like updating the system, opening kde-partitionmanager, opening virt-manager (this is fixed by adding the user to the libvirt group), mounting and unlocking LUKS drives.

You get the name of the process (hopefully not just "sudo do that" by clicking on "details" in the KDE polkit prompt

So yeah so much without any actual description of the problem or just screenshots of the dialogs and a list of the apps.

For easy debug info targeted towards KDE bugs, i created sysinfo, similar to KDEs kinfo but better and with the option to append app names, package manager query etc.

Personally, I've relied on an OnlyKey for a few years (with backups and an extra fallback device) and haven't needed to type passwords since. This doesn't help with the number of prompts, but it does make them easier to dismiss.

I do use autologin, but I don't use a system wallet (only KeePassXC, which I do need to unlock manually). Autologin with system wallets can be tricky, but I've had some luck setting it up in the past. You might want to check out this wiki for PAM configuration.

Idk about the gpu screen recorder but for the keychain for Discord if you disable the KDE wallet subsystem (which is just in the kde system settings) it should stop asking. it’s never caused me an issue and made the discord popup go away. its a dirty solution but its what worked for me.

The documentation (README) of gpu screen recorder mentions how to remove the password prompt: https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/ (you have to install it from source or from aur). Right now there is no good way to do that with the flatpak (adding exception for it in polkit wont work that nicely because of how it works).

I really want to know this too, I've been looking for a fix for this but no luck. Waiting to hear replies
