Bug ID: 438823
Summary: "kded5 has requested to open the wallet": no
information, no way to reject
Product: frameworks-kwallet
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: va...@kde.org
Reporter: p...@ralfj.de
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Every now and then, when I start an application (Steam seems to often trigger
this), I then get a pop from KWallet saying that kded5 requested to open the
wallet, could I please enter my password.
This popup contains very little useful information, since kded5 is doing many
different things. So all I know is *something* wants to access all my
passwords. What are my options?
- I can hit "cancel". In that case, the password prompt will just open again. I
have hit "escape" for more than a minute to see if it ever gives up; it looks
like the computer has more patience than I do.
- Or I can enter my password, and just hope that this request is legitimate.
This is not a great user experience for two reasons:
- There is not enough information presented to make a meaningful choice.
- There is no way to even make a choice, since when I want to say "no", KDE
simply ignores that and just asks again until I give in and say "yes".
