Hello,

I have a question about the Kwallet wizard and I hope I am asking in the
right place as I was instructed to ask here. On Ubuntu 16.04 with Xfce 4.12
and chromium-browser when I first launch Chromium with
--password-store=kwallet, I get a wizard that looks like this:

After I complete the first wizard, I am greeted with another wizard for a
Chromium wallet password. When I finish both wizards, if I remove the
entire ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet directory, upon next launch of Chromium
(after a reboot, of course) it only prompts me with a wizard for a Chromium
wallet password and not the first wizard that I got in the screenshots
above. How do I get the first wizard back - what files must I remove to
restore it to a clean state and get the first wizard back again?

Also, while I am here, I have some other questions. What are the
implications of having a strong password set in that first wizard but an
empty password set in the Chromium wallet/second wizard - is it more secure
than using --password-store=basic in Chromium which I believe essentially
stores saved passwords in plain-text? I would hope that what I wish to
accomplish (strong password in first wizard, empty password in Chromium
wallet) is more secure than simply storing passwords in plain-text, I hope
I can find out if that is the case.

Thanks.
