Bug #75345 use Kwallet for storing mysql password...

Description:

The Mysql manual: 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Linux: 
The vault works by storing passwords using the gnome-keyring daemon, which must be running for password persistence to work. The daemon is automatically started in GNOME desktops, but normally is not in KDE and others. The gnome-keyring daemon can be used for password storage in MySQL Workbench on non-GNOME platforms, but must be started manually.

Whell i have a NON-Gnome platform (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed amd64 with KDE4)
and i have to fill in root password every time.

Thank you for the bug report.

thanks :) hope its possible ...

I wish we could build a plugin, using the keyring python module and hooking API calls on QT events from wb so the logic will be transparent on UX level. But I can't even import the keyring module in the Workbench shell.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.12 release, and here's the
changelog entry:

libgnome-keyring was depreciated and replaced with libsecret in this
release on Linux platforms. Some users with existing stored passwords will
be prompted to enter a password after upgrading.

Thank you for the bug report.
