It may look as this is an implementation problem rather than a problem with Network Manager itself. Though I still believe that even allowing passwords to be stored as text is a security flaw, it is possible to configure NM so that it does not store passwords in text files. I have tried KDE and had no problem saving the password in the Kwallet. I wonder why Unity is not configured like KDE.
Is the problem with nm-connection-editor, NetworkManager or somewhere else entirely? It may help if I can log a report with the right tool :=) -- 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 NetworkManager: Incomplete Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/some-wireless-profile contains plain text passwords.
