wallet for this application. After the rst conguration you can open KWallet at any
time to display, search for, delete or create entries. Entering passwords manually is
not usually necessary. KDE recognizes when a resource needs to be authenticated
and KWallet starts automatically and asks you to enter your KWallet password.
However, you can also add additional data if you wish. To congure the KWallet op-
tions, press [Alt] + [F2] and enter kwalletmanager. The Service program for digital
wallets is opened. If the window does not appear, take a look at the system section
of the control bar (on the left adjacent to the clock). If necessary, expand all hidden
applications via the small triangle. Then click on the Service program for digital
wallets or on the relevant icon. The window of the application should then open. Select
Settings > Set up digital wallet.
While KWallet is set up in such a way that passwords for dierent KDE applications
are managed centrally, Firefox also oers the option of saving data on a website
when a user name and password are entered. When you accept this, by clicking on
Save the password is saved on your hard drive in an encrypted format. Firefox lls
out the registration errors automatically when this website is next accessed.
To verify or manage your passwords in Firefox, click on Edit > Settings > Security
> Stored passwords....
