If you are on Linux, this is a known issue, I think you need Gnome Keyring installed (on any DE) to avoid this behavior.

- mikepurvis 4y agoOkay! Thanks for this. Yeah it's on a bog standard Ubuntu 20.04 install; I didn't realise this might be fixable by installing additional software.
- teekert 4y agoFwiw I think standard 20.04 already has gnome keyring. As suggested here, try a launcher perhaps? I think the one in the store has been working fine for me.
- mikepurvis 4y agoI'm using the official Minecraft launcher, likely from the snap store? In any case, knowing that this is fixable, I will take a closer look when I have a chance. Ironically, for all this trouble, at least we were able to get Minecraft running at all on Ubuntu— on a separate Windows 10 machine I couldn't get it going at all. Might try again at some point with a VM so that we can play together.
- bscphil 4y agoComplete speculation on my part, but I wonder if maybe snap applications have trouble accessing the keyring from inside the sandbox.
