2.11 Managing Passwords

When you enter a password in a KDE application for the first time (in KMail or Konqueror, for example), you are asked if you want to store the password in an encrypted wallet.

For more information on how to configure and use KWallet, refer to Section 7.0, Managing Passwords with KWallet Manager.

Whereas KWallet is designed to centrally manage passwords for several KDE applications, Firefox also offers the ability to store data when you enter a username and a password on a Web site.

To review or manage your passwords in Firefox, click Edit > Preferences > Security > Saved Passwords....
