KDE Wallet always asks for my password when I login. WiFi and stuff like Skype doesn't work without it, which is expected, not a big deal. Anyway, is there a way to make the wallet not need a password? It's a bit of a pain to have to enter my password every single time I log in.
It should be opened at login ... unless you have autologin.
It does open, I just want a way to not have to type my password into it at login. Autologin is off if that helps.
I meant it should be unlocked at login.
There are 2 requirements for that - wallet has same password as user/login, and autologin is disabled.
If you meet both of those requirements and still get prompted to unlock wallet then there is some sort of configuration issue.
Did you install Manjaro-KDE, or try to migrate to it?
inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
I did the Manjaro KDE minimal install. I do have the two requirements you mentioned above as well.
Double check settings and such as shown in arch wiki

I'm only seeing stuff about auto unlock of KDE Wallet for i3 --
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE_Wallet
Here's a picture of what I'm seeing: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jSeJfRKv8SW6aUw37
Sorry for the link, transferring photos directly to my PC from my phone to do a direct upload to here isn't working.
Well yes .. I assumed you meant the wallet prompt when you said kde wallet asks for your password.
But I meant can you check off on this:
Note:
kwallet-pam is not compatible with GnuPG keys, the KDE Wallet must use the standard blowfish encryption.
The wallet cannot be unlocked when using autologin.
The wallet cannot be unlocked when using a fingerprint reader to login
The wallet must be named kdewallet (default name). It does not unlock any other wallet(s).
If using KDE, one may want to disable Close when last application stops using it in KDE Wallet settings to prevent the wallet from being closed after each usage (WiFi-passphrase unlock, etc.).
It may be needed to remove the default created wallet first, thus removing all stored entries.
If the kwallet Migration Assistant asks for a password after every login, rename or delete the ~/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet folder.
And further this stuff:
Configure PAM
The following lines must be present under their corresponding sections:
auth optional pam_kwallet5.so
session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start
Edit the PAM configuration corresponding to your situation:
For SDDM no further edits should be needed because the lines are already present in /etc/pam.d/sddm
...
So can you check all that stuff?
...
Also you still didnt return your inxi.
Perhaps you could provide some logs as well:
sudo dmesg
Please use proper formatting when posting terminal outputs.
Here's the stuff regarding that --

Excuse my ignorance but regarding that stuff you wanted me to check off, I wasn't really sure what you wanted me to do.
You want the whole log? It's huge
What you had done was quote.
What I did was wrap it using the 'code' </> button.
Otherwise you can use three tics at the beginning and end: ```

Open System Settings
Navigate to Personalization > Account Details > KDE Wallet
Uncheck the box "Enable the KDE wallet subsystem"
Click Apply and enter your credentials.
...but...the wallet is what stores your passwords in an encrypted fashion.
Without the wallet one, or both, of two things happen:
- you must enter your password for many many things (and not just the first time!)
- passwords that are saved somehow .. will usually be done in plain-text (readable) format
So unless you have something to add beside simply disabling wallet .. I will stamp that with a
" bad idea 
"

Yeah, I need the wallet for many apps, mainly Skype which just requires me to log back in every time I log in/out or reboot, which is a pain when combined with the 2FA I set up. So yeah, disabling KDE Wallet isn't an option.
