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. ** Affects: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1536640 Title: network-manager-openvpn is caching passwords which breaks 2FA To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1536640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
