Yes, unfortunately password management requires the Javascript to be enabled in
kdewebkit. That is because the built-in API does not work under all
circumstances and my effort to have that issue resolved upstream did not pan
out. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63603. As a result, we use
javascript to find and fill out forms on web pages.
