Depends on how to define 'password manager' :-)

It is able to use stored data for authentication to web based forms via  
konquerror, authenticate to mail accounts via kmail, ...

Having a short look on FlexWallet revelation seems to look alike but 
kwalletmanager offers slightly more of its functionality.
