Public bug reported:
I cannot anymore change the wifi password for existing connections. I
have to update the password every three months in accordance with the
security guidelines at my university. Steps to reproduce: wifi-settings
-> cogwheel on existing connection -> security -> enter new passowrd ->
apply. Then try to connect, but the connection fails. If I reopen the
settings, the old password is still saved. A workaround is to delete the
connection and to re-enter all settings including the new password, the
connection is immediately established.
