How to find out what application wants access to the default keyring
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I've just installed 19.04 with Gnome, and am now finding on every startup I get a popup asking for access to the default keyring for "an application". I'm reluctant to give access to some unknown application, as this is not exactly good security protocol. How can I find out which application is requesting access, so that I can figure out if it is something I put there as opposed to a keylogger that someone else has gotten past my shaky security?
Because the application is unknown, I don't supply the password. Nothing seems to be broken or not working. Would there be a log somewhere where Gnome logs that which application requested access and was refused?
