MySQL Workbench not saving passwords in keychain

Posted on Jul 29, 2023

Question

Using Kubuntu 16.10, I'm saving a password into the keyring in MySQL Workbench, checking the "Store password in keychain" checkbox.

It works as long as it's open (doesn't ask for password), but when I re-open the program it prompts for the password again.

Not many people seem to have this problem. It might have something to do with my OS, but I'm not sure.

Answer

I am using Ubuntu 18.04. Here is a the error I'm seeing:
