The wallet allows you to store passwords in a single place guarded by a master password. It is extremely effective for what it was designed. Examples: reading PDF password protected documents accessing web sites that require a password amarok kmail/kontact konqueror (ftp/ssh/...) knetworkmanager The advantage is that the passwords for these services are not stored on a plain format and that is really a good thing. -- José Abílio _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
