Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Apr 23 2020
  • Distribution: Xubuntu 18.04
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When opening streaming content which uses the Steam video player(e.g Free to play the Movie) the Gnome keyring dialog pops up asking for a password to unlock it. Pressing cancel 3 times makes it go away. This happens every time you open a new video, even if the previous video is still open.
This seems to be the same issue as #6585 or very closely related.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install and launch any streaming video which requires the Steam video player.

Since the Steam client now redirects streaming movies to the browser and the problem in the mentioned issue has been fixed, i think it's safe to close this issue as well.
