<p dir="ltr">I know there has been work done on KWallet for it's move to KF5 but I've not even seen a prompt about it in quite awhile on my machine so I can't say it's current state. It's an upstream project like 98% of the stuff in Kubuntu. The bug tracker and KDE phab might the best places to look at it's current state.</p>

<br>
I've put Kubuntu on 10s of thousands of machines over the years and a<br>
very common problem that I run into is with the KDE wallet system. I<br>
meant to write in with this suggestion years ago, but it got out of<br>
site, out of mind. However I just did a little tech support for someone<br>
that was very very angry about the situation, so I thought I should<br>
finally say something (better late than never).<br>
<br>
So the problem is that when you first login it tells you set a password<br>
for the wallet, but it doesn't really give you any of the implications<br>
of setting that password so it then becomes a giant annoyance to those<br>
that don't care about protecting their passwords and just want their<br>
system to leave them alone.<br>
<br>
So my thoughts are that without changing the wallet system itself<br>
perhaps a different initial setup could be created that briefly tells<br>
you what the wallet does and then asks you to pick from 3 levels of<br>
security for the wallet such as:<br>
<br>
Low security: Just store my passwords in the wallet without a password<br>
Medium security: Set a password for your web passwords but keep the<br>
local passwords without a password so your wifi "just works"<br>
High security: Set a password for all passwords in the wallet<br>
<br>
Only the second and third option would prompt for a password.<br>
I suppose you could have a 4th option to not use the wallet at all, but<br>
I wouldn't recommend that to anyone.<br>
<br>
I believe that simple change would keep people not only more educated<br>
about what the wallet is, but will make them happier with KDE in the<br>
long run... (and keep people from yelling at me in the future <grin>)<br>
<br>
Thanks for reading my rant,<br>
