Hi buddies,
I'm using Kubuntu and I have just upgraded from KDE 5.5.5 to 5.6.5. However, after the upgrade, Kmail asks for the Kwallet password after every reboot.  I have tried to re-connect Kmail via Kwallet Manger or reset Kwallet by removing ~/.local/share/kwalletd and ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet but they didn't work. How can I get rid of the prompt? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried giving it a blank password?

It worked. But I think I did have a password for Kwallet before as I haven't touched it for quite long, why do I need to remove the password now? Is it a new feature of KDE 5.6.x? |

I don't think this is a new feature. It is more likely that something happened with your upgrade, and resetting Kwallet was the correct thing to do.
Removing the password allows applications that want to store items in the wallet to do so without prompting you for a password. It essentially makes the wallet system invisible. |
