.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

For a few days now I get following pop up whenever I start the computer and sometimes randomly during the session:



Enter password to unlock private key dialog



The censored part contains my e-mail address. How can I find out which application this is?

          Gnome keyring uses these files listed with ls:



          ls /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-* ~/.config/autostart


          where any of them that has



          X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true


          set. Those are all suspects for this popup.



          Networkmanager is a likely culprit for fetching the wireless password. So is ssh if you have that installed.

          • Thanks a lot, as a relative newbie I couldn't have asked for a better answer! It seems it must have been a Nextcloud client. Do you know why the application is not identified in these pop-ups?
