Bug ID: 413285
Summary: ask what to do if user password became different
Product: kwallet-pam
Version: 5.17.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kolafl...@kolahilft.de
Target Milestone: ---
This ticket is about the user password being changed via a non-KDE tool (e.g.
"passwd" on shell) or being changed by the administrator.
If a user changes his password via KDE user-manager, this is handled here:
Bug 413284 - user-manager should change kwallet password (if identical before)
KWallet should remember if the user-password and the kwallet password where
identical and kwallet-pam used to work.
(don't remember the clear text passwords, just a boolean if it used to work)
So if opening KWallet stops working on a login, KWallet should automatically
ask what to do. Choices:
- change KWallet password to new user password*
- reset KWallet if old user/kwallet password is lost
In this case, only the old user password might be asked for. The new user
password may be provided automatically.
Keep in mind: If kwallet-pam worked well before, many users won't even know
about the whole kwallet password store concept. So asking them explicitly for a
new password just causes confusion.
