From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you have autologin on boot enabled you could try disabling it and then login manually on boot
That helped for me
If you don't plan on having it save passwords, you can add the following to the .desktop file your using for the Exec line:
--password-store=basic
The line for my chrome setup for some public computers at work is:
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --password-store=basic %U
So you'd just need to replace the file path to your chromium path and it should work.
Thanks! It's a very interesting solution 👍. Will know 🤔
If you want to keep autologin enabled, you can also just set the password to nothing (that is, when you're setting the password, just press enter without typing anything) to disable the password.
Saves having to mess with the .desktop files.
Which is a bad thing if your user is in the sudoers or wheel group
I meant in the Passwords and Keys app below, sorry should have specified!
Ahh I see yes that's better.
I did this now. It helped me :)
