Thank you. I had actually started reading that MR but did not go deep enough.

Thank you. I had started reading that MR but didn't get far enough to read that
part :)

While I understand the justification, I think the current status is
unsatisfactory to some extent.

Wallet Manager is the primary and only KDE application able to access the
content of KWallet. Its GUI shows a "wallet" and a "Contents" pane. It is
reasonable for a user to expect that "Content" shows all the content of the
"wallet".

Whereas this is not possible, Wallet Manager should warn the user that there
may be hidden entries (with or without some way of detecting them).

Can we turn this into a feature request, at least as long as KeepSecret
(https://invent.kde.org/utilities/keepsecret) is not available?
