In MCL-19899 I complained that the launcher is unable to save the login password. This was closed with a reference to MCL-18924 which hints at installing a supported password manager. So I installed gnome-keyring. Now when I start minecraft I have to enter the password for gnome-keyring, which makes sense, and then I still have to enter my minecraft password. Which does not make sense.
So following that advice made it even worse.

> Does this issue still occurs to you on newest version of Launcher?
As far as I can tell yes. It did install an update when I started it today and then ask me for two passwords.
> Have you tried to install Launcher from the minecraft.net website?
I can only find a "buy minecraft" button, but no download link. I already bought it, I don't want to buy it again.

I have neither an Xbox, an Xbox app, an MS store or a MS account.

I don't have Windows or associated apps.

Again, I have no such thing.

Nope

I start the launcher with the command "minecraft"
It asks me to unlock my keyring where I need the first passoword.
Then it asks me if I want to authenticate with a Microsoft or a Mojang account.
I pick Mojang. (Just like last time as it could have remembered.)
Then it asks me for my minecraft password. (Which it is supposed to get from my keyring.)
