Kwallet 'reset' site password state

KDE 3.5.4

I have a site I log into, and on the first instance I (wrongly) told kwallet to 'never' remember password from this site.

But I need to 'reset' it, so that I get the option again so I can add the UID/Password to kwallet for this site - but I can't find out where/how to?

There is nothing in kwallet that refers to the url of the site, nor can I find any information anywhere on where kwallet stores this information of which sites to ignore.

Ideas anyone?

Nick

Ok, I found this after I was proceeding to put in a wish on kde bugs (hoping somebody would tell me), and found an old bug raised with the same issue.

Basically, there is no GUI function to reset kwallet.

If you open the file:

$HOME/.kde/share/apps/khtml/formcompletions

the very last line holds 'sites never to remember passwords' for -> [NonPasswordStorableSites]. Make sure konqueror and kwallet are closed, and then remove the site URL you wish to be 'unremembered' and save it.

Next time you visit the site, kwallet will now ask again if you wish to remember the details.

Phewww, that was hard work finding that out.
