[SOLVED]kwallet with i3

Hi,
Is there a way to unlock kwallet at login with i3?
On the wiki it says that if your login password is the same as your kwallet password you can use kwallet-pam.
I use sddm as my login manager and it says that it should work out of the box.
But when i launch an program that required kwallet i still get prompted for my password.
So does anyone knows a way to automaticly unlock kwallet when you are using i3?
I already tried manually adding

auth            optional        pam_kwallet5.so
session         optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

to the sddm pam file.
I also added

exec --no-startup-id kwallet-pam

exec --no-startup-id kwalletd5

to my i3 config.

Re: [SOLVED]kwallet with i3

Solved i loaded kde and turned off the kwallet and installed the gnome-keyring the gnome-keyring works like a charm with i3.
