Description Ilario Gottardello 2022-03-03 07:04:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
When logging in to my corporate VPN (openvpn) with 2FA, the password saved in the settings (not encrypted) will be overwritten by the PIN I must enter. The next time I will log in, it will fail because of wrong password, so I have to either go every time to the settings and restore the right password, or not save it at all and enter it when connecting.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure an OpenVPN connection with username and password and save it unencrypted
2. Connect to the VPN server, entering the PIN

OBSERVED RESULT
The "password" field in the settings will be overwritten by the PIN and the next time you will log in you must reset it

EXPECTED RESULT
Password fild should remain untouched
