           Summary: Passwords should not be shown in cleartext by kwallet.
           Product: kwalletmanager
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: staikos kde org
        ReportedBy: nilesh iitb ac in


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 SuSE 9.0 
OS:          Linux

When my wallet is open, I can view all passwords stored in wallet in plain text. It \
would be better if kwallet does not display passwords like this and instead use some \
basic encryption and show passwords encrypted so that someone can't know my password \
just by looking at it.

I am generally logged in and rarely log out of KDE. Also i have set time for wallet \
to close to around 500 mins, so that i don't have to provide password again and \
again. Now if i go away from my computer for say 5-10 mins, and my wallet is open \
someone can see my password.
