Why does Bolt (Runescape Launcher) request KDE wallet access? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I open the third party Runescape launcher Bolt, it requests KDE wallet access. I don't give it access, and everyone says it's a reliable app. Is it just behaving oddly?

KDE Wallet is primarily a password manager. So if the launcher saves your password this is probably where it is storing it. Why invent your own storage when you can use one that is already built? For more information I recommend the ArchWiki which has plenty of information that is not arch specific. Also if you use Gnome I would imagine it would access Gnome keyring which serves the same function. KDE Wallet
