OK, that seems a valid point, but does not actually apply to me, as all the passwords in question in my case are on one computer. > And your keyring password is less likely to get compromised > because it normally does not travel over the Internet.

That I don't understand. Surely if I forget a password it ceases to be of much value to me? I guess I could write them all down and keep them at home. Incidentally, I would not trust KDE wallet with any vital, eg financial, information, as I do not know how it works. I prefer to use some encryption method I can understand. Anyway, thanks for your explication. You have convinced me (just) that KDE wallet is a useful tool. I still find the keyring used by NM a pointless nuisance, though. I just want to get connected without any action on my part. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
