Public bug reported: I added a VPN connection through Gnome settings. I configured the user and password. Once I try to connect, as I've already set the user and password, I'm only asked to inform the authentication code, as the VPN has MFA enabled. After I inform the authentication code, I'm able to connect to the VPN. If I disconnect and try to connect again, the authentication code was saved as if it was the password, so my authentication fails and I have to inform my password first, then after that I'm asked for the authentication code. The authentication code is being saved as the password, which shouldn't happen. Everything works but it's pretty annoying having to do that every time. I have another machine running Debian Trixie, which used to have the network-manager- openvpn in the same version and it used to happen the same thing. Now that it's updated to network-manager-openvpn (1.12.0-1) this issue is gone, probably fixed.
