There's two sides to that problem in fact, use from applications and the

I think that for applications the answer is neither KSecretService nor
KWallet, etc. For the goal of making it easier for our applications to be
shipped on more platforms, what we want in fact is to port them away from
anything platform specific to something like QtKeyChain:
https://inqlude.org/libraries/qtkeychain.html
This way, the actual storage becomes a workspace decision. That could keep
being KWallet if improved, or KSecretService, or a simple D-Bus service
wrapping libsecret... For sure it would at least simplify things on the
KWallet/KSecretService side, they wouldn't need to be frameworks anymore
(QtKeyChain or equivalent would play that role) just to expose a D-Bus API
(likely the Secret Service one in the end).
Oh, indeed, that would absolutely make sense! Deploying and using applications
which use KWallet outside of Plasma must be a pain right now.
So how do we make that happen? Deprecate the KWallet framework and recommend to
use QtKeyChain instead, and then in parallel decide which bakcend to use for
QtKeyChain in Plasma?

0.1 being outdated, you probably want to link that one:

Ah yes, indeed.
Hope that somewhat made sense and helps.
It made sense to me at least :)
