This problem appeared after upgrade to Plasma 5 from the latest KDE 4. I've never used KWallet in KDE4 and do not want to use it in Plasma 5. Do I have an option to disable KWallet popups in settings somewhere or I have to close every KWallet popup window and then work normally with saved passwords in my custom applications? Where can I change the setting to disable KWallet popups?

Unfortunatelly I don't have such an option inside System Settings. Can you give me exact name of the option in some settings file?
I made an upgrade using this manual (I installed kde-plasma/plasma-desktop package which provides only the basic desktop for me): https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/Plasma ... stallation
There are installed packages with the name "kwallet" on my PC:
Code: Select all
# eix -I kwallet
[I] kde-apps/kwalletd
     Available versions:  (4) 4.14.3-r2(4/4.14)^t 15.08.3(4/15.08)^t ~15.12.3(4/15.12)^t
       {aqua debug gpg}
     Installed versions:  15.08.3(4)^t(23:02:13 07.03.2016)(-aqua -debug -gpg)

I think this packets were installed by kde-plasma/plasma-desktop metapackage. KDE doesn't work without them and I can't get rid of them. But I think I can to change setting somewhere to disable KWallet popups.

KWallet configuration file

KDE control module:
$ kcmshell5 --list | grep wallet
kwalletconfig5 - KDE Wallet Configuration
$ kcmshell5 kwalletconfig5


'kcmshell5 kwalletconfig5' will launch the KDE Wallet Configuration:
Image

The config file is ~/.config/kwalletrc

Code: Select all
[Migration]
alreadyMigrated=true

[Wallet]
Close When Idle=false
Close on Screensaver=false
Enabled=false
Idle Timeout=10
Launch Manager=false
Leave Manager Open=false
Leave Open=true
Prompt on Open=false
Use One Wallet=true


'Enabled=false' will disable the KWallet system.

This is with:
Distro: Arch Linux
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.6.3
KDE Frameworks 5.21
kwalletmanager5 16.04.0
(Arch package is kwalletmanager 16.04.0-2)

Thank you very much. I've added the following inside ~/.config/kwalletrc:
Code: Select all
[Wallet]
Enabled=false

So, the file is looking like this now:
Code: Select all
[Migration]
alreadyMigrated=true

[Wallet]
Enabled=false

Relogined and kwallet popups disappeared.
