 KWalletManager manages all your passwords in an ecrypted file

KWalletManager is an optional tool which can greatly assist your work-flow while maintaining security.

  • Wallets are encrypted against your chosen passphrase
  • Wallets are, by default, closed. Your passphrase is required to open a wallet
  • Wallets can be configured to close when unused
  • You control which applications may use the wallet - everything else will have to ask you for a password.

A right-click, context menu on the wallet in kwalletmanager offers maintenance options:

  • To create a new wallet
  • To open and examine the selected wallet
  • To change the passphrase for that wallet
  • To disconnect an application currently using that wallet
  • To close or delete the wallet

Clicking (or in some versions, double-clicking) on a wallet allows you to examine the contents of a wallet. From here you can remove any entries that you do not wish to be further controlled by the wallet. A further advantage is that it is possible to examine the passwords for individual entries - particularly useful if you have mis-typed a password and stored it. These activities remain secure, since they are only available after you have given the passphrase.


[edit] FAQs, Hints and Tips

For greater security configure KWalletManager to use one wallet for local passwords and a separate one for network passwords and form data.
