Confirmed on KDE Neon 6.0 RC1. I tried various fixes after searching. /etc/pam.d edits, resetting kde wallet passwords, re-creating the wallet, etc. This is happening for me in KDE neon with Plasma 6.0.0, but only if I use X11. This bug does not happen when using Wayland. Chiming in. Updated today my opensuse Tumbleweed install and now I have the same problem. Running 6.0.1. I was running Wayland before the upgrade, and am running Wayland now. Now after the upgrade at every boot I get a popup saying that kded6 requires wallet access and I have to type my wallet password just in order to connect to my home WiFi. The wallet pwd is the same as my user's. With Plasma 5 this was the trick to avoid having to re-type it, as the wallet would auto-unlock if the pwds matched. Has something changed around this? Thanks Suspect root cause/dupe: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480380 > The wallet pwd is the same as my user's.

Really? On Manjaro with Plasma 5, that NEVER worked for me. I have always had the same kwallet password as my user's password, and it would still prompt me every time. The only way I got rid of the annoying prompt was to set an empty password for the wallet.
Yes, really. Although there was some kind of caveat, IIRC you had to destroy the wallet your distro created if the name didn't match a specific one (`kdewallet`, maybe?).
