Version: 0.9.4 (using KDE 4.3.5) Compiler: gcc version 4.3.4 (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages Every time I login to KDE and choqok starts up, it pops up an Authorization Dialog: You need to supply a username and a password to access this site. Site: Twitter API at twitter.com Username: Password: I enter my username and password and it remembers it for that session and only for that session. Choqok 0.6.6 doesn't have this problem.
As i remember, This was KDE 4.3 bug! And fixed in KDE 4.4! BTW, try to remove choqok related entries in Passwords folders in KWallet, and try again. Maybe it helps.
Thanks for the quick reply! Actually I wasn't using KWallet because I had some problems with it in the past (maybe related a bug in 4.3?) So I tried installing it again and yes, there are problems. For example, it prompts me every time I login for "Plasma Workspace" and I get prompted for a password twice from Choqok when I logout! What a pain. For the moment, I've changed 2 lines in account.cpp to use the password in cleartext from the config.
Possibly the same as bug 205892
rfc469: which two lines did you change? I don't use kwallet on Gentoo, either, and I'd like choqok to remember the passwords between sessions, too...

I confirm the problem. Using choqok-0.9.55 and KDE 4.4.4 in my Gentoo box. I don't use KWallet at all and every time choqok starts after log-in, it asks for the Twitter password, although I have the Remember password tickbox checked.
I too am having this problem. I have been using choqok for some time and has worked great. But ever since I updated to 0.9.55 it refuses to save passwords. When this started, I was using kde 4.4.3, and now using 4.4.4 it has continued. I also do not use kwallet. I noticed that choqok used to save the passwords in plain text in ~/.kde4/share/config/choqokrc. So I tried to put the passwords in there manually. But it got over written on the next session. I also tried to delete all config files to have it start clean, that didn't help ether. I hope this info helps to solve this bug. I don't know if it matters, but I am using Archlinux i686 kernel 2.6.33.
No, It didn't store passwords in plaintext! I'll try to add option for it
Try to remove your Twitter account from Choqok and then create it and authenticate on twitter.com. It must help you.
