--- Comment #4 from adam <[email protected]> --- Hi Marcelo, Yes, the issue still persists on Arch Linux with Plasma 6.8.1 (plasma-nm 6.8.1-1). To clarify the exact behaviour: Selecting a new Wi-Fi network from the system tray applet opens the inline password field within the list. Entering the password and clicking "Connect" fails to establish the connection immediately. Instead, a secondary standalone modal dialog ("Wi-Fi Secrets" / authentication window) appears on the desktop, requesting the exact same Wi-Fi password a second time. Why this occurs: When KWallet is disabled, the inline applet prompt fails to commit the secret directly to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<SSID>.nmconnection as a system secret (psk-flags=0). Because NetworkManager receives the connection profile with agent-owned secrets (psk-flags=1) but no active wallet agent exists to provide it, NetworkManager triggers a D-Bus GetSecrets request back to the session secret agent. This forces the secondary modal authentication dialog to spawn. Once the password is entered into the second popup—or written manually using nmcli connection modify <SSID> wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk wifi-sec.psk <PASS> wifi-sec.psk-flags 0—the connection succeeds and does not prompt again on subsequent boots. Regarding reproduction: I noticed you checked with kwalletmanager5. Because Plasma 6 relies on KF6 (kwalletd6), please verify that kwalletd6 is not running in the background during the test. If kwalletd6 remains active in the session, it silently intercepts and stores the secret on the first attempt, masking the bug. > Hi adam, > > I tried to reproduce the issue but I was able to connect normally with the > wi-fi widget (new network with a new password).
