Description Guo Yunhe 2018-05-31 07:38:42 UTC 
This is just a suggestion. I am not sure if it is technically possible.

1. For WiFi password, use a weak wallet that doesn't ask for password. (Maybe use the same password as user to unlock it)
2. For Chromium password, email account, use a strong wallet that asks for password.

WiFi password is always a painful thing for using kwallet. Each time I boot my PC I have to type password. (You don't have to do this in any other systems)

By default, all applications use the same default wallet. To protect some important passwords, I have to encrypt the whole wallet with GnuPG key.

Here can be two default wallets: one is named "wallet", use the same plain password as Linux user; the other is named "secret_wallet", require users to specify a different password than Linux user, or use a GnuPG key.
