Bug 489409

SUMMARY

The "Remember password" checkbox state when mounting any encrypted device should perhaps either reflect last used state, or be configurable, for security reasons. It can be unsafe in some environments to remember the password for removable encrypted devices, so this prompt showing up and then always having "Remember password" pre-checked with no way of stopping that can be a risk when handling such removable devices a lot. Sadly, neither does this checkbox seem to reflect what I last used nor can I find anything in the dolphin options to change it not to be checked by default as to avoid accidentally using it.

Is there a way to disable this mechanism entirely? Maybe if I uninstall KDE Wallet for now?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  Access encrypted removable device in Dolphin
2. "Password" dialog pops up, "Remember password" is pre-checked

OBSERVED RESULT

I can't find a way for not making "Remember password" pre-checked every time.

EXPECTED RESULT

There's a way to disable this default state. E.g. if it remembered what I last used, that would already be enough since then I just need to be careful the first time and then it'll be fixed for follow-up uses.
