<p>If you change your login password, it may become out of sync with the
72
<em>keyring password</em>. The keyring keeps you from having to remember lots
73
of different passwords by just requiring one <em>master</em> password to access
74
them all. If you change your user password (see above), your keyring password
75
will remain the same as your old password. <!-- When you next log in, you will be
76
asked to update your keyring password. If you prefer to change the keyring
