When opening a new page, the latest Google Chrome (10.0.648.82 beta, F14) frequently pops up a KDE Wallet dialogue asking for a keyring password. This seems unrelated to whether the page itself wants a password.
No previous version of Chrome did this, in fact I'm surprised Chrome has any interaction with KDE at all.
Has anyone seen this? I'm asking here before reporting to BZ.

Ditto, same here (with Chromium as well).

Hi,

Hi,

Oddly enough I don't see the behaviour on my home laptop but do see it at work on my desktop. Both are running chromium-10.0.634.0-1.fc14.x86_64 but the work desktop is slightly behind in yum updates.

Ah, of cource is see no problem, I'm using kwallet :-) Chrome wants to save Form Data (with entries: Binary Data, Maps, Passwords and Unknown). Chrome is more from KDE. Got to Preferences -> Under the Hood -> Network. Press button Change Proxy Settings.

In the chromium sources [1] I see the following file: "trunk/src/chrome/browser/password_manager/native_backend_kwallet_x.cc"
So the usage of kwallet and other kde dialogs looks to be intended and no bug.

Perhaps the integration with kwallet is intended, but on my version of Chromium (F14, Chromium 10.0.634.0) it prompts repeatedly, even after I've given it my kwallet password. What's more, it prompts me twice (ie. I have to hit 'cancel' two times in a row) on a newly opened tab to say, engadget, where I've never stored any credentials-info.
Btw, I think I was mistaken earlier when I said I saw it in Chrome (F14, Chrome 9.0.597.98). It seems to only be happening in Chromium.

This is definitely in Chrome. I haven't tried it in Chromium.

I'm not sure what proxies have to do with it, but in any case it's already set not to use a proxy but to connect directly to the Internet.

:-) It has nothing to do with kwallet, but it's an other example of Chrome using native KDE stuff. Press the button and you'll see :-)

Chrom(e/ium) supports native backends for password storage under Linux now, and these include KWallet and the GNOME keyring. I suppose this is completely intentional. See this upstream ticket, looks like they enabled it now: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12351
I think there is a --password-store command line flag that determines the backend used by the browser, you might want to look into that if you don't like the idea of storing the passwords in KWallet.

I don't mind it in principle. What I mind is it trying to access the wallet when there is no secure info to be stored in it (these are just random pages, not password dialogues), and furthermore not remembering the wallet password but repeatedly asking for it.

Hi Patrick,
Yes, I misunderstood your question, sorry about that. For me Chrome is accessing kwallet without asking for a password. What do you have in KDE Wallet Configuration -> tab Access Control -> kdewallet -> Chrome as policy? Mine says "Always Allow".

It has no entry for Chrome, nor does there appear to be any way to add one. If I can't fix this I'm going to disable Kwallet entirely.

I had this as well (a little while back, with Chromium). I think what I did was to uncheck 'close when last app stops using it' and check 'close when screensaver starts', more like the default Macintosh behavior (Google's code may have grown up there). I'm not terribly worried about the security of this setup, and if I ever get the bluetooth locking working I'll be even less worried.
