+<para>TDE Wallet aims to provide secure storage for passwords and web form data.
+You can group different passwords in different wallets, and each one will only
+be opened with a master password (which you should never forget!). The
+default wallet is named "kdewallet", and you can either create a new wallet
+for your local passwords or accept the default wallet for all data in
+the "Automatic Wallet Selection" section.</para>
+
+<para>TDE programs like Konqueror, Kmail and Kopete are fully compatible with
+the TDE Wallet Manager. All of them will ask at least once for permission to
+access to actual wallet. You can give different access levels, such as "always
+allow", "allow once", etc. If you want to change that access level, you can do
+it from the "Access Control" tab by deleting the program entry and selecting a
+new preference the next time that application requests access to the
+wallet.</para>
