Instead of using saved password I now have to enter two passwords

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.
