Created attachment 155892 [details] Wi-Fi Connection_1 SUMMARY After entering password in Connections -> WiFi -> [NAME_OF_WI-FI_NETWORK] -> WiFi Security -> Password and clicking Apply,it isn't saved. Simple check is that I click onto different type of network like "Wired Connection" and back to my Wi-Fi. In result I can see empty field "Password". Second thing is that default settings in Connections -> WiFi -> [NAME_OF_WI-FI_NETWORK] -> WiFi Security: "Store password for this user only (encrypted)" causes that Plasma at every start asks user for password to WiFi network. Check attached screenshots If you wish I ca split it into two bugs. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Connections -> WiFi -> [YOUR_WI-FI_NETWORK] -> WiFi Security 2. enter correct password in field: "Password" to your WiFi 3. press Apply button 4. click onto different Wi-Fi network, or connection in Wired Ethernet or Bluetooth connection 5. back to YOUR_WI-FI_NETWORK OBSERVED RESULT Missing password. After relogin/restart Plasma asks me for password EXPECTED RESULT Password should be saved For option: "Store password for this user only (encrypted)" Plasma should not asks user for any password after start. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION System: Neon Unstable Edition

Created attachment 155896 [details] WiFi_password-dialog BTW. WiFi_password-dialog is shown as stick to left edge of screen - in case of every start of Plasma Maybe this is another bug.
Do you have KWallet disabled, by any chance?
Created attachment 156009 [details] The moment when the package got nuked A recent Neon update nuked the libkf5wallet-bin package. Workaround: sudo apt install libkf5wallet-bin
That would explain things. :) You need KWallet to save the wifi password. The next question is why an update removed KWallet. That doesn't seem ideal. Moving to Neon.

Anyway this explains why password is not stored, but there is also another problem. I use wired Ethernet connection (one time tried WiFi and entered password manually, and later I had back to cable), so why every start of Plasma I can see window question for password to WiFi? Let me know please if should I report another bug for this issue, or this is intentional behavior? BTW. Look at "WiFi_password-dialog" screenshot, where you can notice that combobox with user name is a bit too tall.
Those are all different issues. Can you please report them with additional bug reports? This one should be about how KWallet got removed unintentionally during a system update, which is what I understood. If that's not the case and you deliberately removed KWallet yourself, then this is intentional. We could improve the messaging, but we'd need a separate bug report about that.
Thank you for your bug report! However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since before 01/01/2025. Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's. Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report. Thanks for understanding!
