Title:
  Regression: NetworkManager breaks PPTP OTP authentication due to
  missing checkbox.

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Release:      11.10
  Package: network-manager-gnome                         0.9.1.90-0ubuntu6  
amd64

  Detail: Oneiric has introduced a new bug in Connection Editor by
  removing the "remember password" checkbox, thus permanently enabling
  the "remember password" function.  This is especially problematic for
  configuring VPN connections that use a One Time Passcode since it is
  exactly the wrong behavior in that case and causes all subsequent
  connection attempts after the first connection to immediately FAIL.
  It is also annoying for other connection types if the user wants to
  require password entry before connection (for any of several
  legitimate reasons).

  Expected behavior: "Remember Password" checkbox present and can be
  checked or unchecked per-connection so that it can be unchecked to
  allow for connections using a One Time Passcode, which is very common
  for corporate VPNs.

  Observed Behavor: No checkbox present, cannot disable "save password"
  functionality from within Connection Editor in any way.
