everytime i login kwallet nags me with this:

application KDE Daemon has requested to open the wallet kdewallet. Please enter the password for this wallet below."


can i blacklist this kde daemon so it never asks for password or at least stop the nagging?
or should i just use a blank password for kwallet?! (quick'n dirty)

you can I believe use a blank password but then your wallet is not secure


OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

the question is, does kwallet really offer any security?

http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/ ... ntrol.html :

"If you erroneously configured an application not to use the KDE KWallet Manager delete the policy for this application here.
On the next start of this application you can define a new policy for access to the wallet."

Does this help?

Do you use a wireless network by any chance? If so, "KDE Daemon" in this instance might actually be Network Management, retrieving the password for your wireless network.

A workaround to this problem, if your Network Manager is new enough is to make your wireless connection a "system connection" which is then shared with all users (with the password being stored system wide as well - ie. not in KWallet).
