Description Alex Wright 2007-08-20 12:26:09 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.1 
OS:                Linux

If you configure KNetworkManager to store passwords unencrypted, save them, then later change to using KWalletManager, the passwords in the configfile are not deleted.

Expected Behavior:

Passwords cleaned out of config files when they are no longer used.

Ahh, They get removed on the next startup of KNetworkManager.

Less serious, but a crash could still expose private data. I'd expect the cleanup to occur immediately.

move secrets from one storage to another if the storage type is
changed and delete secrets in old storage.
