Set the password store to use. The default is to
automatically detect based on the desktop environment. basic
selects the built in, unencrypted password store. gnome selects
Gnome keyring. kwallet selects (KDE) KWallet. (Note that KWallet may
not work reliably outside KDE.)

Maybe the autodetection is buggy. I know that on one installation I get
the nagging KDE Wallet window all the time (even when revisiting a page
I've been on before in the same session), while on the other I never see
it. Both are using KDE.

Had a similar problem with Chrome just pop up out of the blue. I changed
the web browser in systemsettings from "google chrome" to "google-chrome --
password-store=kwallet" and ran like that for a couple days, then gave up
and removed the "--passwordstore=..." bit and voila! I am now no longer
propmted for my KWallet password. :D

Thanks, maybe I'll try that on the one that keeps nagging. From your
description, clearly it is buggy.


Since I am the only one using this system, I just changed the kwallet
settings. I unchecked "Close when unused for XXXX" and checked "Close
when last application stops using it".

I get one prompt the first time any application uses the wallet and
never get prompted again unless I logout.
