  • It’s because Android is more secure and each apps file access is sandboxed while in Ubuntu any app can access any file. Veracypt may be storing a private key(created during first run) to encrypt config file. Try clicking on cancel when it asks computer password and you will find you will have limited access to your app data(the app may not even open).


  • Veracypt is asking for computer password because your keyring is not unlocked. Keyring is a security feature which keeps your ssh, GPG keys and keys from applications that use this feature, like Chromium safe.

    Its not recommended to disable keyring as its a security feature

    Open the Password and Keys application from the menu.
    Right Click on Login -> Change Password
    When it asks to change the password, don’t enter a new password and hit Continue instead. This will remove any password from the keyring
