One option would be to authorize access to KWallet through the login procedure itself. There is a package for the kwallet PAM integration, which unlocks the wallet on login with the credentials provided to the login process. I've been using that (libpam-kwallet5) since I've switched to Plasma 5. Requires the wallet to have the same password as for login but very convenient to have it automatically unlocked at the begin of a session.
