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.
