MySQL Workbench not saving passwords in keychain

Using Kubuntu 16.10, I'm saving a password into the keyring in MySQL Workbench, checking the "Store password in keychain" checkbox.

It works as long as it's open (doesn't ask for password), but when I re-open the program it prompts for the password again.

Not many people seem to have this problem. It might have something to do with my OS, but I'm not sure.

    If this happens to you, try installing gnome-keyring if you don't have it.

    sudo apt-get install gnome-keyring

    Solved the problem for me.
