Koo Integration with KWallet
Quick summary
Koo can use KDE’s KWallet to store credentials and form data centrally. With PyKDE installed, the integration should work without configuration; if needed, it can be enabled in `~/.koorc`, with an option to ask for confirmation before saving a password.

Another Koo 5.0.5 feature for users running Koo under the KDE desktop: Koo can now use KDE’s KWallet manager to store passwords and form data centrally and securely.
KWallet support should work without configuration when PyKDE is installed. If it does not, check that ~/.koorc contains:
[kde]
wallet = yes
enabled = True
Optionally, set wallet = ask, and Koo will ask before saving the password.
Koo stores the username and password for each server and database and suggests them in the initial login dialog.
Koo works on Windows, GNOME and other platforms, while giving KDE users additional integration.
