As long as it is not in plain text in a file on the filesystem I do not care.
We want users to be able to set up wireless connections and select available networks. As far as I have acertained this is accomplished by giving them rights to org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system. If we do this passwords WILL be stored in plain text in /etc. Storing passwords in plain text will *allways* and in any circumstances be a bad design. The VPN test I set up did not store my password in plain text, and yet mysteriously managed to start again without prompting me for a password. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060907 Title: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/some-wireless-profile contains plain text passwords.
