# KWallet Status

KWallet is Plasma's encrypted credential store. Daemon: `kwalletd6` (Plasma 6) / `kwalletd5` (Plasma 5).

## Is KWallet enabled?

```bash
kreadconfig6 --file kwalletrc --group Wallet --key Enabled --default true
```

If `false`, KWallet is disabled and no operations will work — apps fall back to plain config storage.

## Is the daemon running?

```bash
pgrep -af kwalletd6 || pgrep -af kwalletd5
qdbus org.kde.kwalletd6 /modules/kwalletd6 isEnabled 2>/dev/null
```

## List wallets

```bash
qdbus org.kde.kwalletd6 /modules/kwalletd6 wallets
```

## Default wallet name

```bash
kreadconfig6 --file kwalletrc --group Wallet --key "Default Wallet" --default kdewallet
```

## Is the default wallet open?

```bash
qdbus org.kde.kwalletd6 /modules/kwalletd6 isOpen "kdewallet"
```

## Notes

- Wallets are stored as `~/.local/share/kwalletd/<name>.kwl` — encrypted with the user's wallet password (or auto-unlocked from PAM via `pam_kwallet`).
- A status check that returns "daemon not running" is normal if no app has touched KWallet this session — calling any of the read/write skills will start it on demand.

> **Stub skill.** Status is implemented; if the user wants richer reporting (last-unlocked, password-strength signals, integration-test against pam_kwallet), flesh out from here.
