I had the same problem on Fedora 33 with kwallet demanding a password. The most reliable way to reproduce was to log out and in again without a reboot. I had to disable kwallet to avoid this issue.

This was a fresh install with no remnants of old versions in the home directory.

 I have hit-or-miss experience on my laptop w/ full disk encryption, meaning some logins it asks for password, some - does not (meaning race?). On my desktop w/o full disk encryption it does not happen and kwallet is always unlocked on login.
