About Keyring / KWallet

To avoid repeated keyring unlock pop-ups in auto-login scenarios, RadxaOS desktop images do not enable the user's KDE Wallet / keyring for you in advance. This is convenient for kiosk-style or auto-start deployments, but it can also lead to the following side effects:

• Chromium, Chrome, or other Electron apps may not be able to save passwords normally
• SSH public/private key workflows may not integrate with the desktop credential manager as expected
• Other applications that rely on the system keyring to store credentials may behave unexpectedly

If you need these features, open System Settings -> KDE Wallet after logging into the desktop, then follow the on-screen prompts to enable the wallet and set a password manually. If your device uses auto login, decide whether to keep a wallet password based on your own security requirements.
