I don't mind it in principle. What I mind is it trying to access the
wallet when there is no secure info to be stored in it (these are just
random pages, not password dialogues), and furthermore not remembering
the wallet password but repeatedly asking for it.
Hi Patrick,
Yes, I misunderstood your question, sorry about that. For me Chrome is
accessing kwallet without asking for a password. What do you have in KDE
Wallet Configuration -> tab Access Control -> kdewallet -> Chrome as policy?
Mine says "Always Allow".
