Chapter 2. KWallet Manager

KWallet Manager serves two functions. Firstly it allows you to see if any wallets are open, which wallets those are, and which applications are using each wallet. You can disconnect an application's access to a wallet from within the KWallet Manager.

You may also manage the wallets installed on the system, creating and deleting wallets and manipulating their contents.

When a wallet is opened, the KWallet Manager application is launched. A system tray icon indicates that a wallet is open. When all wallets are closed, the icon will reflect this by showing a closed wallet.

Click on the wallet icon to display a window showing all available wallets as icons which reflect their current status, either open or closed.
