Although the Passphrase is not very secret information it was too easy to get it via dbus without any apparent real use case in mind. That is probably why it was removed from dbus. > > The above commit would seem to imply that sensitive information such as > passphrases should be kept out of the publicly-visible service dictionary. > If so, how would the community suggest ConnMan expose network credentials > to an application?

Also note that most people would probably not want to expose this information via dbus. If you are really eager to get passphrase information, you can always dig the settings files in /var/lib/connman directory.
