I tried to disable it, but the password I enter in doesn’t work (I know it is my admin password). A SSH pop up happens as well, enter password, goes away, then reappears. KDE Wallet pops up, click next, no key. KDE Wallet pops up, close, pops up again, cancel close, pops up again. Tried to setup a key using blowfish, enter password, SSH pops up, KDE Wallet pops up again.

This happened twice on two virtual machine installs of Bazzite.

I think this is happening because Bazzite lets you install without setting a password.

IIRC what you want to do is to go to Settings \> KDE Wallet, open KDE Wallet from there, and erase the password from there.

Can’t turn it off. I think when installing Bazzite I missed the option to give my PC a name and password (twice). I assume this is in one menu. I wish the Bazzite installer did step by step rather than only telling me to select a drive.

Yeah, I completely missed the account creation in the installer. They should put a warning if you haven’t entered in a name or password as it makes Bazzite literally unusable. There was only a warning for selecting a drive.
