Annoying KDEWallet message on WiFi connect

[TheNetEffect]

On every login the KDEWallet pops up an authentication before WiFi can connect.

To stop this simply right click on the WiFi connection and choose to edit network connections. Click the security tab and choose to store passwords for all users (unencrypted). This will subsequently prevent this occurring.

Another workaround for the same problem:

install kwalletmanager -> then you will have a new item in your system preferences about the user account -> there you can deactivate KWallet (and then uninstall kwalletmanager :-) )

I found the suggestion from LinuxGuy was really helpful.
After installing kwalletmanager and rebooting I hit 'Fn' key --> selected 'System Settings' --> scrolled down to 'Personalisation' --> chose 'Account Details' --> unchecked 'Enable the KDE Wallet System'. Hit 'Apply' --> entered system password which was still 'cosmo'.
Rebooted again and have actually left kwalletmanager installed because it may be useful in future.
Thanks LinuxGuy and TheNetEffect

Under the hood what this is doing is unlocking a "keyring" managed by the system and often tied to your user account. There are many interfaces, KWallet, Seahorse (Gnome version), and others, but it appears that however Plasma is configured it didn't get linked to your user login to unlock the keyring at the same time. Gnome handles this for you if you delete a keyring via Seahorse, and then it will set up a new "Login" one, which is where Chromium/NetworkManager and others usually store secrets.
