Hello,Akonadi currently uses Kwallet as a mandatory password manager; Kwallet
is good software but its functionalities seem to no longer follow the state of
the art in this area:
-It is not possible to use it with firefox to store passwords (lockwise…)
-the same for chromium and its clones,
-you cannot use a yubikeys / nitrokeys to unlock the database
-the secretservice protocol is not supported

I plan to use KeepassXC for my browser and to protect the database with a
nitrokeys but if I am forced to use kwallet because of akonadi/kontact, this
may become a bit complicated.

Could it be possible that in the near future akonadi will allow us to choose an
alternative password manager based on more recent protocols and technologies
implemented in our password requesting software?


EXPECTED RESULT

I would like, in a KCM, to be able to choose an alternative to kwallet
(keepassXC…) and use it with the software of the kdepim suite (kmail,
korganizer etc) and all the kde software which uses passwords in any way .

Thanks to all the team for your wonderful work.
