@malteA This is potentially a dupe of #213. What desktop environment are you using? Also are you on vanilla arch or a distro like Manjaro?

Also, can you verify you all dependencies installed including gnome-keychain? The error indicates you may not.

@malteA Checking out Arch, you likely don't have gnome-keyring and libsecret installed.

Run

sudo pacman -S gnome-keyring libsecret

Then reboot. Sign in should now work with most window managers. See here for additional details: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME/Keyring

@Chuxel
Im using vanilla Arch with XFCE

I installed as you suggestet gnome-keyring and libsecret after a reboot it worked fine.

Thanks a lot.

What about those on KDE

I had a similar error occur using VS Code on Chrome OS when using the PostgreSQL extension by Chris Kolkman (ckolkman.vscode-postgres). The error prevented me from connecting to any database using the extension. I was able to resolve the error by installing the above two libraries via

sudo apt-get install gnome-keyring libsecret-1-0

(I'm writing this comment for any other poor soul who's using this obscure setup since this is the top search result for this error)

This also fixed my issue with VS Code and Kubuntu 20.04.

Hello, KDE user here. Will you ever implement KWallet support?

Installing the keyring solved a similar issue on a Chromebook linux with VS Code.
