Hi, I've had my girlfriend move to Openmamba for her office computer (given that Windows 10 died off and her system is too old for Windows 11 (X370 and Ryzen 1800X too old smh)).
She is using firefox as the browser right now, and when firefox starts it requests her to enter her user password to be able to use wifi.
She finds this prompt annoying, I also find it annoying.
Is there any way to automatically unlock the wallet on login for firefox?

Hi,
this would normally happen because the user has set a password for KDE Wallet. You may want to try to open KWalletManager and change the password by setting an empty one.

I don't think I've ever set a password for the KDE wallet, the password is the same as the user login password. Perhaps it is automatically set to that?

The report you sent (related to another problem) shows a crash of the ksecretd daemon. I don't know if it is the same installation of this post, in any case it might be worth to see a useful stacktrace of the crash dump. As an example the following console commands might produce the stacktrace as output:

sudo dnf install kf6-kwallet-debug
coredumpctl info -q -r

The kwallet behavior I described happens on both this system, with Microsoft Edge, and on my girlfriend's system with Firefox.


coredumpctl info -q -r

Do you want the 3.1M file in /var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.ksecretd.1000.47ed0ddcb97a447385b37b7837646ae4.6457.1762277988000000.zst?
That's a massive stack trace
I have uploaded it here
