I have Ubuntu 20.04 desktop with Gnome. A few months ago I switched to i3, and I like it!
The only issue I have is that when I run some software that needs Gnome Keyring it misbehaves, for example, Google Chrome no longer suggests me my saved passwords..
When I login into i3 (after GDM), I run Seahorse and I see that the Default Keyring is locked. How can I unlock this keyring at i3's startup? Please help.

I assume,
- your login password is the same to the keyring password
- libpam-gnome-keyring which provides pam_gnome_keyring.so has been installed.
Then you start gnome-keyring-daemon in ~/.config/i3/config,
exec --no-startup-id /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh,secrets,pkcs11
You can disable it, although this disables the security features that it offers or you can start the gnome keyring daemon when logging in.
