When I'm on my computer using the Cinnamon theme, whenever I log online this window pops up asking for me to enter my default keyring password. This happened when I would use Gnome too, but I was able to disable it by going into MCC and selecting "no password ", I did the same thing when using the Cinnamon, but it didn't work. How do I get this problem to stop?

What you configure in MCC is not related to the gnome keyring.
Best install seahorse and configure the keyring to unlock by default when you login. For that you need to open it once in seahorse.

The Gnome seahorse 3.14.0 is installed, how do I configure the keyring to unlock?

If you run seahorse as your normal user, and then enable in menu View => By keyrings,
how many keyrings for category Passwords do you see? And is one of them named "login" ?

I see three keyrings: Quit/shutdown the computer, Logout/Leave Sessions and Lock Screen/Lock the Screen.

I posted three, because the icons for the key rings are of such that you can't see what they are unless you hover the mouse pointer over them.

Those are three pictures of your application menu, none shows which keyrings you see in seahorse.

So please unlock both keyrings that are listed under Passwords section, and check what you have in those keyrings.
The lower one "Login" should be the default keyring that is unlocked automatically during login to your desktop.
If the other one contains passwords, you would need to remove that keyring and make the "Login" one the default via right-click if it's not yet the default.

Ok so I was able to unlock the default keyring, but it would let me unlock the login keyring. I entered every password I know and it still wouldn't unlock it.

Well, then remove it and make the other one the default keyring.
