keyrings

A couple of weeks ago a popup has appeared whenever I startup telling me that an application wants to access the keyring but it doesn't say which one. I'm used to seeing the application name on the popup but here it just says 'application'.

I haven't changed any passwords or did anything that might have something to do with that, to my knowledge.

I saw this question but like I said, I haven't changed any of my passwords, and I don't want my keyring password to be empty.

How can I find out which application is asking to unlock to keyring and fix it?
