Bug#248473: kwalletmanager: very unconveniently asking for one more password
Package: kwalletmanager
Version: 4:3.2.2-2
Severity: normal
I was happy to find kwallermanager to handle password on web sites
with konqueror, without spending time typing always the same
passwords.
How surprised I am to find no way to use kwallermanager without one
more password. Why the login process gets reimplemented in this tool?
I am already logged in with my unix user account. I definitely not
want to be forced to log in more time. It is just like if I had to log
in to open files on my user area. Why would I do that? Unless I
encrypt a file, I expect to be able to open my files without any
additional password than my unix account one.
So would it be possible to have a "switch off password" option.
This franly completely breaks the design of the environment: the
concept of user session is not respected. It is just not coherent.
While it may be an interesting feature to allow users to set extra
password to their wallet, it should not be the default choice and we
should not be forced to use a password.
