[FIXED] Plasma 6.1.1 enables Kdewallet prompt

I detest Kdewallet. HATE it. I never enable it. All of a sudden, after the Plasma 6.1.1 update, when I log into EOS, I’m greeted with this…

My WiFi won’t even connect unless I enter a Kdewallet password. Same for signing into Bitwarden. :rage:

Anyone else seeing this? How can I deactivate this NUISANCE?

This should do it.

I noticed the same thing. I never wanted it, I never had it, Plasma 6.1.1 simply activated it.
Glad you asked, as soon as someone knows how to turn it off

So damned irritating. From way back in the early days of KDE Plasma, I hated it. It kept me away for a while. Whether it’s an OS or a DE, forcing something like this is ridiculous. It should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Downgrading kwallet-pam to 6.1.0-1 temporarily resolves the issue.

There’s also doing this:



Uncheck the KDE Wallet service in system settings.

Well, the other method usually works even while using i3 or other environments. You may need to delete the folder first.
