disable kwallet kubuntu kde 20.04

  • 772

I get asked to unlock the keyring (kwallet) every time I open vscode. How do I have the kring work with vscode . I tried disabling kwallet once before and I lost all of my passwords in chrome and network.

Normal keyring suggestions just don't work with kde. I never understood the purpose of keyrings.. it should work with your login and end there.

Keyring for vscode works in Gnome but not kde they say. Is there a way to have chrome save my passwords and like my phone does without kwallet? When I was on eOS (ubuntu 18.04) , I just set the password to "" and everything was fine. Is there a way to do that with kwallet?

kde kwallet

  1. You can enable and disable the KDE wallet subsystem by doing the following:

    1. In the Application Launcher, open "KDE Wallet (KDE Wallet Configuration)"

    2. Uncheck the Box "Enable the KDE wallet subsystem"

    3. Click "OK"

  2. You have to import all your passwords from kde wallet to gnome keyring. After you do that, you can uninstall kde wallet. To uninstall kde wallet, type this command in the terminal:

    sudo apt remove kwalletmanager5;sudo apt autoremove kwalletmanager5;sudo apt purge kwalletmanager5

    Hope this solves your problem!
