I enabled the automatic login on Login SDDM

But now, every time I start my computer, kwallet asks for my password.

I kinda enabled the automatic login to not have to type my password, this kinda defeats the purpose of it @_@

    I see. I asked DeepSeek for some help, it suggested using kwallet-pam to fix it. Do you think it’s the recommended approach?

      @bimbimboy I don’t think that would solve the problem. KWallet-PAM would be the way it gets the password from the login manager. PAM is the pluggable authentication modules framework, where you can plug in a module to do stuff during authentication, so kwallet inserts itself into the login process to read the password and unlock your wallet.

      According to the arch linux wiki on KWallet: “When using autologin, the wallet can only be unlocked if the autologin method saves the password. pam_autologin does, for example.” https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE/_Wallet maybe there is a way then.

      Your options are:

      1. Go back to logging in
      2. Remove the password from kwallet
      3. Store the password on disk somewhere so it can be auto unlocked

      AFAIK there are no other options
