Bug ID: 361002
Summary: KWalletManager cannot open old .kwl files
Product: kwalletmanager
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: va...@kde.org
Reporter: incoming-o...@bordenrhodes.com
For a while now, I've been using KWalletManager5 (15.08.3) provided by the
latest version of Debian testing (Stretch), into which I successfully ported my
passwords. I just discovered that Konqueror, however, continues to save
passwords to ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/kdewallet.kwl as it is still a KF4
program. However, I cannot open this file in KWalletManager5. When I try to, it
prompts for a password but gives me a -9 error message saying that the password
is probably wrong. This is impossible, as is the .kwl file being corrupted,
because Konqueror can easily read and write to kdewallet.kwl.
I need the passwords from this file, so either KWalletManager5 needs to be
fixed to allow this or I need a workaround to dump the passwords from this file
into plain text.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Konqueror and navigate to a page requiring a username and password
2. Konqueror prompts to open kdewallet.kwl. Konqueror can easily read and write
to this file and fill in the web page's fields
3. Close Konqueror and attempt any of the following
3a. Import kdewallet.kwl from KWalletManager5
3b. Open kdewallet.kwl directly within Dolphin
3c. Replace existing .kwl files in ~/.local/share/kwalletd/ and try to open
them from within KWalletManager
Actual Results:
KWalletManager prompts for a password to open the .kwl file. The correct
password is entered but error -9 pops up saying that the password is incorrect.
Expected Results:
I can get at my passwords!
