According to Ubuntu docs
The gnome-keyring-daemon is a service that stores your passwords and secrets. It is
normally started automatically when a user logs into a desktop session.
The gnome-keyring-daemon implements the DBus Secret Service API, and you can use tools
like seahorse or secret-tool to interact with it.
The daemon also implements a GnuPG and SSH agent both of which automatically load the
user's keys, and prompt for passwords when necessary.
The daemon will print out various environment variables which should be set in the user's
environment, in order to interact with the daemon.
So when you login to the system, it automatically login to the the keyring.
But when their auto login happened or you changed the password before the login, which means your system password has an expiration date and you have not changed it, you are prompted to change the password in the login screen. So the new password will not be updated in the keyring.
