Ubuntu 13.10 isn't remembering my passwords anymore, why?

Ubuntu's password management used to be working just fine for me, but around two weeks ago after running apt-get upgrade, I've noticed that now it keeps "forgetting" my passwords.

For instance, I need to manually enter passwords to unlock my ssh keys to use git, which previously was done automatically on login. My workplace's 802.11x authentication also no longer works, I need to manually re-auth just to connect to internet. What's going on?

Thanks for the help, I installed seahorse but ultimately resolved the problem by setting my login password in the system settings to abc123, and then back to my real password. That seemed to sync the login keychain password as well, I think that using the standard unix passwd command didn't do that.
