Description Riccardo Robecchi 2022-10-17 14:50:11 UTC 
SUMMARY
Since updating to Plasma 5.26, the network manager asks me to input my password at login despite the WiFi password being set to "Store password for all users (not encrypted)". This was working as intended on Plasma 5.25.5.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in 

OBSERVED RESULT
Network manager asks for KWallet's password in order to connect to WiFi, even though the network's password is not encrypted.

EXPECTED RESULT
Network manager connects to the WiFi network.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE neon
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Riccardo Robecchi 2022-10-18 11:44:08 UTC 
While reporting the bug I had the System settings page related to the WiFi network I am connected to open. When exiting it, I was prompted to confirm the changes - though I had made none. I clicked on "cancel", then moved back to the page and, lo and behold, the setting now said "Store password for this user only (encrypted)". It seems then that something changed the setting I chose in the update from 5.25.5 to 5.26.0, hence the issue I experienced. I have set the password to be stored for all users again and haven't had issues since then, but this shouldn't have happened in the first place!

I haven't experienced this in a while. It seems like the underlying issue was fixed. Thanks!
