I use kwalletmanager5 to store a list of passwords.

The current workflow to open this list is the following:

1) Open KWalletManager
2) Click "Open..." to open the password storage and enter password
3) Doubleclick on the root folder
4) Doubleclick on "Passwords" to open the tree item
5) Click on the item below
6) Click the button "Show contents..." on the right panel.

Suggestion for a workflow to make access easier:

a) Make it possible to create the tree item below "Passwords" at the top level of the tree (which is currently not possible)
b) Click on this item immediately opens the contents without having to press the "Show contents" button.

This would save three clicks each time someone wants to see the password list: 3), 4) and 6)

KWallet(Manager) is ultimately not meant as a backend for applications to store secrets, not for users to store arbitrary passwords. For your usecase, I'd recommend using a proper password manager instead. That being said, you might also be interested in https://invent.kde.org/utilities/keepsecret

not meant -> meant

sorry for the mistake
