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.

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.
