Linux Mint: Authentication Required (lemmy.world)

I'm hoping somebody can help me out here, refresh my memory. Earlier this year, I was having an issue where whenever I opened a couple apps, they would prompt me for my password to launch. At the time, one was Firefox. It was something to do with the keyring. And I used nano to edit some configuration file for each of the two apps to change a line that fixed the issue. But I have no memory of what I changed, and my browser history is no help. Did I change something to trusted? Did I change some authentication requirement to basic? I honestly have no recollection. But if anybody has any idea what I'm trying to say, I would love some assistance.
