Falkon doesn't store any login passwords unless the backend is KWallet.

[Ryan]

Falkon won't store any site login passwords unless the bundled extension allowing it to use KWallet is enabled and set as the backend for the password manager.

I suggest that this configuration should be the default.

There's still the separate issue of the password field detection not working at all on numerous sites (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391327), but that is caused by a number of problems in both Falkon and the Qt Web Engine component. The Falkon issue seems to have a fix committed for a future release, but I'm not sure about what will be done for the cases that detection failure is due to Web Engine.
