Hi, I found a work around for this matter and like to share it in case someone else might run into this issue. > I recently switched from running i3 on Xorg to running sway (Wayland) As it turns out gnome-keyring uses pinentry-gnome to ask for a passphrase and will output no error message if it fails to do so. pinentry-gnome does not seam to work with sway at the moment and will silently fail when trying to unlock the key ring. A work around would be to either disable the passphrase of the key ring entirely using Xorg again (make sure your passwords are protected in another way like for example full disk encryption) or use a PAM enabled login manager *that does not switch dbus sessions* to have the key ring being unlocked prior to starting sway. I hope someone will consider these information's useful.
