Please install the pam_kwallet package by default, if KDE is being installed. pam_kwallet is a huge step ahead in safety and usability. For example everyone using openSUSE on a notebook will probably store the wifi passwords safely in kwallet. But entering the user password twice on login is just senseless. (actually KWallet might not just be used for wifi, but for a lot more like ssh passphrases) Additionally the choice to use blowfish or GPG shouldn't be displayed anymore (at least not for the default wallet being created automatically). Because most users won't know what's that choice about. And I suggest to simply default to blowfish. At least that's what the native KDE distro "Neon" does. https://neon.kde.org Configuring GPG is also little more work and maybe not something every KDE user wants to do. So by default there should be simply a KWallet being created with blowfish and made accessible via pam_kwallet. I think that's by far the best choice for inceasing security and usability. P.S. I hoped to find a rpm package which is installed by default and adds GPG support. So I could simply remove this on users machines to get rid of that choice. But it looks like it's all in the default KWallet rpm packages.
