Yes. I believe it was installed as part of kirigami2-dev.

A separate install of qml-module-org-kde-kirigami2 did not succeed
because it was already installed.

Yeah, I think I might try oathtool next. Or until I have time to write
a TOTP with a ui tool that works.

Related, Keysmith is failing its self tests:
<https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474776>. Maybe that is reason

I don't have a cell phone. I don't want to be that in touch with the world.

(Hence the need for a separate desktop app).
