Public bug reported: I cannot anymore change the wifi password for existing connections. I have to update the password every three months in accordance with the security guidelines at my university. Steps to reproduce: wifi-settings -> cogwheel on existing connection -> security -> enter new passowrd -> apply. Then try to connect, but the connection fails. If I reopen the settings, the old password is still saved. A workaround is to delete the connection and to re-enter all settings including the new password, the connection is immediately established.
