VPN. NetworkManager automatically chooses the best network available, but it can<br />
only automatically connect to a known network. The connection currently used is<br />
marked in the list. To activate a different connection, just click another connection. For<br />
some connections, such as WLAN, you may be prompted for additional information,<br />
such as network name, password or passphrase, and encryption details. Network connections<br />
are managed by user and the passwords are stored in KWallet.<br />
5.10.2 Managing Passwords with KWallet<br />
Manager<br />
Remembering all the passwords for protected resources to which you need to log in<br />
can be problematic. KWallet remembers them for you. It collects all passwords and<br />
stores them in an encrypted file. With a single master password, open your wallet to<br />
view, search, delete, or create entries. Normally you do not need to insert an entry<br />
manually. KDE recognizes if a resource requires authentication and KWallet starts automatically.<br />
IMPORTANT: Protect Your KWallet Password<br />
If you forget your KWallet password, it cannot be recovered. Furthermore,<br />
anyone who knows your password can obtain all information contained in the<br />
wallet.<br />
Starting KWallet<br />
When KWallet starts for the first time (for example, when you access a Web site where<br />
you must enter a password to log in), a dialog appears with the welcome screen. Choose<br />
between Basic setup (recommended) and Advanced setup. If you choose Basic setup,<br />
in the next screen you can choose whether to store personal information. Some KDE<br />
applications, such as Konqueror or KMail, can use the wallet system to store Web form<br />
data and cookies. Select Yes, I wish to use the KDE wallet to store my personal information<br />
for this purpose and leave with Finish.<br />
If you choose Advanced setup, you have an additional security level screen. The default<br />
