SUMMARY

As far as I am informed, right now, once an application makes use of the credentials store (kwallet), it can basically access all credentials, including those of other applications.

It'd therefore be a security enhancement if it could only access credentials which are associated with this very application.
One way to to associate it, could be to check if it started under a certain path like `/usr/bin/my-application`.
