Description Antti Savolainen 2024-12-13 08:29:24 UTC 
SUMMARY
In my opinion it is way too easy to access plaintext passwords if kwalletmanager is installed. This tool should ask for user password even if the wallet is open in the background. While it would still be possible to access the wallet through other means, I think the "silver platter" method should be blocked.
