--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I know a it more about this issue now. As of Plasma 5.27, now when you set up
auto-login, you'll see a message telling you to remove the password for your
wallet (which is totally possible and will work around this issue). Clearly if
you're doing auto-login, then local security isn't a factor and it should be
safe to have a passwordless wallet too.

However the issue is probably still valid even given that, since we can't
guarantee that the wallet will be automatically unlocked on login.

I'm a bit surprised though, since I've never seen plasmashell get blocked by a
kded module that's waiting for its password. It's a shame it doesn't tell you
specifically which kded module is waiting.

Any chance you can upgrade to Plasma 5.27, not apply the workaround I specified
(or un-apply it), and then try again?
