I can't really judge if this is a valid enough use case, or if in this case just a 
separate wallet should be used. In any event, it's not supported right now, so 
someone would need to implement it. In theory, any password can be "very 
confidential", and that's why kwallet stores them in an encrypted fashion. To me, 
this would mean that we'd need separate storage for any passwords as an option...
