Cannot login with protonvpn-cli

[ghost]

When I try to login to the cli with protonvpn-cli login <username> I get this output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/protonvpn_nm_lib/core/keyring/linuxkeyring.py", line 21, in __getitem__

    raise KeyringLocked("Failed to unlock the collection!")
keyring.errors.KeyringLocked: Failed to unlock the collection!

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I'm not sure what's causing this problem, I've done a little research but I couldn't find anything that helped fix it. I also tried rebooting (that's a classic solution). My operating system is Arch Linux and my ProtonVPN version is: ProtonVPN CLI v3.7.1 (protonvpn-nm-lib v3.3.1; proton-client v0.5.1)

I solved the issue, it was caused by a problem with creating the keyring. I fixed it by adding source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh to my .xinitrc file, and then logging out and back in.

I have the same error, but the posted solution does not work for me, as I don't have the etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh file. Are there any other solutions to this issue?

I am running into the same issue with protonvpn-cli v3.13.0 (protonvpn-nm-lib v3.14; proton-client v0.7.1) on UbuntuSway. I don't have and /etc/X11/xinit either (Sway uses Wayland, not Xorg) Everything I read says protonvpn-cli is not a true command line tool but requires gnome network manager... Go figure... Anyone smarter than me out there who figured it out?
