Description aronkvh 2023-06-23 11:41:25 UTC
If you enter the wrong the password for a wifi network, it just says configuring interface and doesn`t tell you that the password is incorrect and couldn`t connect.
Comment 1 David Redondo 2023-12-05 12:14:28 UTC
I am afraid I can't reproduce it, if I enter a wrong password, a dialog opens prompting me for a password. The same happens if I enter a wrong password that dialog.
Comment 2 David Redondo 2023-12-05 12:14:57 UTC
Maybe you can give more details (including networkmanager version)?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-12-08 05:43:30 UTC
I also get the dialog eventually, but it takes like 30 seconds. NetworkManager 1.44.2.

Pushed by davidre into branch 'master'.

If the user provided password was incorrect say so in the dialog

RequestNew is documented as "This flag signals that NetworkManager
thinks any existing secrets are invalid or wrong". We can use this
information to show a better string.
