Public bug reported:

It looks like network-manager-openvpn is caching passwords internally
which breaks OpenVPN with 2FA where the token is entered as part of the
password.

Since the resolution of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/374432 the default openvpn option "auth-
nocache" was added which does not cache username/password in openvpn but
network-manager-openvpn is still caching them (in the
NMOpenvpnPluginIOData struct?)

When "Password" is set to "Always Ask" in the GUI it should not cache
them and always prompt again.

This might be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/871273, though I could not find this
checkbox for the keyring, I'm not sure if the latest version is still
working like this?

Ubuntu 15.04, network-manager-openvpn 0.9.10.0-1ubuntu1.
