The way you put it makes sense. I guess the option is whether I would like to have the security risk of having my passwords open without needing any kind of authentication. But that depends on whether I can bypass needing to enter a password on autologin in the first please, or if it's not possible.

That's how the keyring works, in principle. The keyring is a
password-protected secret, and a typical desktop system would be setup
so that the login password you used was also used to unlock the
keyring. With autologin, no password is typed in, so gnome-keyring has
no way of being unlocked without asking you for a password.
