# How to disable password promit from chrome when using yubikey for passwordless linux

I was getting annoyed with chrome using gnome-keyring to store passwords (I dont store ANY passwords that matter in my browser), and I stumbled onto this:

```shell
cd ~/.config/chromium/
touch "Disable Local Encryption"
chromium --enable-encryption-selection
```

This very nicely disabled the stupid prompts from the insecure password storage engines. I use the PASS command for most things.
