In Plasma on Arch, I am trying to use Kwallet rather than disable it but I am confused with its functions.
I know I can automatically unlock Kwallet at login (Arch wiki shows).
But I don’t want it and I just want to add NetworkManager with authorized access to wallet so NM can connect to known network without Kwallet’s password prompt. In Wallet Manager > kdewallet > Applications window, there is a “These applications are authorized to access this wallet" section with no applications mentioned. I think that is what I want. But I don’t find way to add NM to it. How can I add?
And the other confusion, When I tried to login to my gmail account in Konqueror, I saved password to Kwallet.
(Actually I don’t very remember) I thought it forces me to create new wallet because I remember I can not type my old Kwallet password. I think I created new wallet with new password.
So I now have two Kwallet passwords. One is for NM to connect to network at every login and one is for entering passwords in Konqueror. However there is only one default wallet named kdewallet in Wallet Manager. So how can I change password for entering passwords in Konqueror?

I don't even know how to explain my problem with KWallet any more.
Nobody seems understand my problem and has suggestion.
I deleted all wallets in Wallet Manager but Konqueror is still accessing kdewallet and Kwallet is still asking password and I am still able to use password I set for it.
Konqueror shows small kwallet icon at the right bottom of its window. If I right-click on that small icon, Close Wallet box appears and I can close the wallet.
So where is the kdewallet Konqueror using.
I deleted all wallets in Wallet Manager, it is empty now.

Konqueror isn't ported to KF5 and still uses the old KDE4 kwallet.
Plasma-nm is using the KF5 kwallet.

Thanks for reply. So, is there any way to access the old KDE4 Kwallet Konqueror is using. I don't find way so far.
(Just wonder, it's ok, I know just a glitch and it will disappear when Plasma gets more mature update by update.)
Although it is not the solution I want, one trick I found online is a bit useful.
We can leave password blank (at least now) when we create kdewallet first time. (We can also change password as blank later)
If password is blank, Plasma-nm can access passwords inside KWallet without kdewallet's password prompt.
So, system will behave as KWallet doesn't even exist.

You can install this to have the manager for KDE 4 kwallet. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kwalletmanager4/

This has nothing to do with Plasma. Konqueror needs to get ported to the new libraries.

Thanks again.
Fully understood now.
