           Summary: Disable KWallet for Kopete (option in Kopete)
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ddrtist at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I really do not like either of these choices:

1) Enter KWallet password upon going to status 'Online' in Kopete (default)
2) Enter every password for every account (after hitting cancel to KWallet
requests)

I am sure I am not the only person in the world who is the only person who uses
his computer. I would like if Kopete offered a way to store the passwords (yes,
insecurely) in the kopeterc file or elsewhere. Regardless, no password entering
at all. Make a big warning about how unsafe it is and etc. But it is well-known
this is a big security flaw in Pidgin. Regardless, a lot of people still use
it.

A more safe way is to use public/private key encryption. That way a file is
required in order to read the passwords. This path should be customisable. This
way a Kopete password file is useless without a key.
