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

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.24
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This behavious seems to NOT occour if the password is stored encrypted.

Thanks for the bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to look into it yet! Are you able to reproduce the issue in Plasma 6.3.5 — or even better, in the Plasma 6.4 beta? Or also the Plasma 6.4 final release, once it comes out in mid-June.

Thanks a lot!

Hello Nate, unfortunately we moved to a different VPN setup where we didn't have a PIN anymore... and I moved away from that job so now I couldn't test it in any way, sorry

Ok, thanks anyway. I'm afraid we'll have to close this then, sorry!
