STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to set Gmail IMAP account online by checking mail.

OBSERVED RESULT
The account stays offline (folders are marked red) and the message "Could not read the password. User rejected wallet access" message can be seen in the Kmail's account settings. If password is changed there, it is updated correctly to the wallet as seen in Wallet Manager, but the error persists nevertheless.

EXPECTED RESULT
Account goes online and new messages are downloaded. (Actually, normally the account is online automatically.)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.0.0-23
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

KDE wallet is opened normally (at login through PAM) and Wallet Manager displays the wallet open and "kontact" as an attached application.

The problem appeared suddenly on two different machines around 10.8.2019, possibly after a package update. One system is Kubuntu 18.04 LTS and the other is Kubuntu 19.04, both with KDE backports repository enabled.

I noticed that around the time of the problem appearing, an update was installed to mitigate the .desktop file vulnerability. The following packages were upgraded:

libkf5config-data:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libkf5configcore5:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libkf5configgui5:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), dpkg:amd64 (1.19.6ubuntu1, 1.19.6ubuntu1.1), libkf5config-dev-bin:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libkf5config-bin:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libkf5config-dev:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libkf5config-doc:amd64 (5.60.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04~ppa1, 5.60.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu19.04~ppa1), libdpkg-perl:amd64 (1.19.6ubuntu1, 1.19.6ubuntu1.1), dpkg-dev:amd64 (1.19.6ubuntu1, 1.19.6ubuntu1.1)

My apologies, if the tagged software package is incorrect.
