Bug ID: 512585
Summary: KDE Wallet data corruption
Classification: Applications
Product: kwalletmanager
Version First 25.08.3
Reported In:
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After a reboot of my system a popup asking for a WiFi password was shown. The
password was previously saved in the wallet and I never needed to enter it
again until now. When I opened the KWalletManager, I've found out that all my
passwords are empty. The entries are still there, but when I click show data,
they are all empty. I've tried to manually save the password by entering it to
the manager a click save, but I only get error (code -1). The entire wallet
seems to be corrupted somehow.
I was rebooting the system after updating it from Plasma 6.5.0 to 6.5.2 in KDE
neon User Edition, but I've seen similar report on Manjaro forums regarding
older version of Plasma, so the version bump is probably not related. Here is
the report:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Can't reproduce it.
OBSERVED RESULT
EXPECTED RESULT
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19
Qt Version: 6.9.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I never changed any setting regarding the wallet, it is the default setup from
KDE neon. I've only had 4 passwords for Network Manager and 2 passwords for
KRDC stored. They were all stored a long time ago, so no writes to the wallet
have been made during the last boot.
I'm sure that I was connecting to a RDP server via KRDC just before the reboot
and my password for the KRDC was read correctly from the wallet. The password
for my WiFi after the reboot was not, so it must have got corrupted during the
reboot.
The kdewallet.kwl file is present and it is not empty (1240 bytes), but its
modification time and even birth time show, that it was re-created just in the
time of the popup for the WiFi password.
