The functions you're probably interested in are the static methods, getPassword() and getNewPassword().
  • Usage example
  •  String password;
     int result = KPasswordDialog.getPassword(password, i18n("Prompt message"));
     if (result == KPasswordDialog.Accepted)
         use(password);

  • Security notes:
  • Keeping passwords in memory can be a potential security hole. You should handle this situation with care.
  • You may want to use disableCoreDump() to disable core dumps. Core dumps are dangerous because they are an image of the process memory, and thus include any passwords that were in memory.
  • You should delete passwords as soon as they are not needed anymore. The functions getPassword() and getNewPassword() return the password as a String. I believe this is safer than a String. A String stores its characters internally as 16-bit wide values, so conversions are needed, both for creating the String and by using it. The temporary memory used for these conversion is probably not erased. This could lead to stray passwords in memory, even if you think you erased all of them.
