Description Thomas Otto 2004-10-03 18:52:46 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

The URL to a loginscreen of onlinebanking sites is often more or less random so the simple kwallet dialogue ["yes", "never for this server", "no"] after entering the logindata is stupid since the URL will be a different one upon the next login.

I would have something like Operas "Wand" password manager in mind: "for this page", **"for entire server"**, "never on this page", "never on entire server".


Related is that apart from the random URLs mybank.foo's login server ALSO changes to login2.mybank.foo, login7.mybank.foo and so on.
I could not think of an easy GUI interface to allow for that (except maybe "for entire *.server.tld") but to for "powerusers" who edit the kwallet entrys the acceptance of wildcards there would be nice. In this case the URL would simply have to be changed to https://login*.mybank.com/*login.html.
With wildcards being accepted the "for entire server"-reply would simply be saved as bank.foo/* - this would then be transparent to named powerusers if they intended to change this lateron.
(Though one has to be careful that * as wildcard vs foo*bar.html in a url don't become exploitable).

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
