If selecting "Store password for this user only (encrypted)", then clicking Apply, the password is wiped when navigating away from the current connection. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add new VPN via Network Manager > Add new connection > Import VPN connection 2. Input password and username to connect. 3. Choose "store password for this user only (encrypted)" 4. Navigate away from the current connection. 5. Go back to the connection. 6. Password has been wiped from the input field.
