--- Comment #1 from Nicolas Fella <nicolas.fe...@gmx.de> ---
It's true that any program can request any password from a open wallet. KWallet
was never designed to prevent that, because it's somewhat impossible to do. It
would require that apps can be uniquely identified and can't "impersonate"
another app, which isn't possible in the traditional Linux world.
That doesn't mean KWallet is useless though. The primary thing it prevents is
storing passwords in plaintext on the disk so that they can't easily be read if
someone has physical access to your computer, e.g. by stealing your laptop
