           Summary: KWallet always asking for password in a pop-up at
                    login to fetch WiFi secret(s)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Fedora Rawhide on x86_64 running the K Desktop (KDE) version 5.27 (latest;
current as of 20 October 2023 for this OS)
2.  most up-to-date packages upgrade with $ sudo dnf upgrade  # runs dnf-3
3.  kf5-kwallet Version 5.111.0; Release 4.fc40
(kf5-kwallet-4.111.0-4.fc40.src.rpm)
4.  kwalletmanager Version 23.08.2; Release 11.fc40
(kwalletmanager5-23.08.2-1.fc40.src.rpm)
5.  reboot


OBSERVED RESULT
1.  get KWallet pop-up, but never did prior to 20 October 2023; OS always
remembered the WiFi credentials

EXPECTED RESULT
2.  KWallet should be remembering the WiFi credentials and not be asking each
time for the secrets

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma:  Fedora Rawhide (40); kernel 6.6.0-0.rc6.47.fc40.x86_64
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:  5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version:  5.111.0
Qt Version:  5.15.11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I uninstalled and then re-installed kwallet.  It did not correct the issue.  I
also opened kwalletmanager and was greeted with a notice that the service was
not enabled.  I clicked "Yes" to enable it.  I then shutdown and restarted the
machine.  Still I am getting the pop-up asking for a password (the user's
password) to open the wallet to find the credentials for joining the WiFi
network.  I have not changed the network settings in the router.  Another
machine running siduction KDE is also upgraded to latest packages and is not
exhibiting this behavior.
