It only fixes the case of WPA-EAP (password and/or certificate pass-phrase). I agree it would be ideal if passwords were never stored clear but from what I've seen of the code I think it would be a fairly intrusive re-write to prevent that generally. Also this may be the last case where they weren't stored in the keyring, in which case the motivation to write a new infrastructure to prevent it goes away. Please do test it, though, if you have a network it can be tested on. I don't think Canonical has a WPA-EAP network so this will have to rely on the users and on the eyes that look at the code. -- Does not store WPA-Enterprise password in keyring https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41134 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
