Created attachment 188953 [details] UI limiting password length SUMMARY The wifi spec puts pretty much no limitations on the WPA password, including min and max length. The KCM now puts limitations on the password, which the user cannot hope to match if the network's password falls out of that range. Also the Linux kernel allows up to 128 bytes. Such a limitation would make sense when configuring a hotspot. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open network KCM 2. click on a previously unconnected wifi network that has a 4 letter password 3. try connecting with the 4 letter password OBSERVED RESULT Password not accepted by the UI EXPECTED RESULT wifi connects Operating System: Gentoo 2.18 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Kernel Version: 6.18.7-gentoo-dist-hardened (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon 890M Memory: 64 GiB of RAM (62.1 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon 890M Graphics Manufacturer: Framework Product Name: Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series) System Version: A9
