Description
VS Code is now opening Keyring whenever I run it from WSL2 Ubuntu after updating to Win11 and WSLg.
How is this supposed to be configured to not have to login every time?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated Keyring prompt when launching VS Code from WSL2 Ubuntu after the Windows 11 and WSLg update. Investigate how VS Code and WSLg configure credential access in this environment; done means the expected configuration is documented or the repeated login is resolved and verified on a comparable setup.
