I’m running into a strange issue when it comes to kwallet. It seems that apps are having trouble communicating with it.

VSCode:

$ code --verbose --vmodule="*/components/os_crypt/*=1" | grep kwallet

KWalletManager:

I think I may have messed something when I got a prompt to set up my kwallet for the first time… I was wondering if there is a way to completely reset my kwallet and start from scratch.

My fedora spin is Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile (Version 44).

I did a test on a new account, and I think this is what I did on my original account.

I went with the option that was selected be default:

It gave me an error message when I selected next

Not sure what to do next, I clicked the “Cancel” button.

I think pressing cancel put my KWallet in a broken state…

I found the KDE Wallet option in the System Settings app. But trying to create a wallet just freezes the app…

I was able to get my kwallet working again with this workaround

Hold on, I think I managed:

Terminating kwalletd6, then launching KWalletManager and I could delete the wallet “kdewallet”. Now trying to set everything up properly :crossed_fingers:

Probably not the correct way to fix this issue, but at least my kwallet is working…
