What would be the point of that?  As long as KWallet is open - which 
will be most of the time after login - you never give it another 
password.  Paranoid people set the wallet to close after "N" minutes, 
and I don't know what the default is, but I'm fairly sure it never 
closes until you log off.

Another thing is that sometimes you enter a site through more than one 
URL and while it remembers your username/password for one, it doesn't 
know the other is related.  You just open the wallet, type part of the 
url into the "Search" box, and it lists the passwords and form data it 
has - you find the one for the page you've already saved and cut and 
paste into the new page, so I can now afford to use more random passwords 
for random sites, as I can look them up in the wallet.
