How to use chromium with password-store=gnome (gnome-keyring-daemon)
How can I use chromium with --password-store=gnome, in order to make use of the gnome-keyring-daemon to store the passwords.

This answer is valid for debian testing/unstable with ligthdm as login-manager using i3 and chromium as provided by packages from the official debian apt-repositories. i3 is selected as session in lightdm
chromium has some sort of auto-detection to find the proper solution for password-storage (basic, kwallet or gnome). The auto-detection seems to fail when using i3wm.
On debian testing/unstable I force the password-store to be used by chromium by adding a file like this:
⚡ root@tuxi# cat /etc/chromium.d/pn-passwordstore
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --password-store=gnome"
The gnome-keyring-daemon itself is started via integration with PAM.
