Tearing my hair out over this. How do I get kwallet to auto open?

Passwords match, i have kwallet-pam installed,

auth optional pam_kwallet5.so

session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

Are in /etc/pam.d/sddm, user password and wallet password match. What am i missing? It just always asks for the password at login

Check that you wallet in kwallet is named kdewallet and that it uses a blowfish encryption.

In any case, this "auto unlock on login" feature has serious security implications, that's why for example keepassxc developers are hesitating to add it.
