Description Javier O. Cordero Pérez (Cuperino) 2021-10-19 19:33:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
Encrypted password fails to be recalled for VPN configuration

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attempt to connect to an openVPN network that has its password being stored for the current user only (encrypted).

OBSERVED RESULT
A prompt shows asking for the VPN account's password.

EXPECTED RESULT
The stored password is recalled and the user isn't asked for the VPN's account password.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Recalling of not encrypted passwords for all users seems to be working fine.

Sorry we were not able to get to this yet! Can you see if it still happens in Plasma 6.3.5 or later?

If it does, can you clarify whether the password field in the prompt is pre-populated with the password, or whether it's empty?

Thanks a lot!
