Hello evryone, I need help with this annoying problem where I can’t connect to some specific wifi even though I’m entering the correct password.
I went to a coffee house near my in-laws for some alone time where I got this annoying problem again. I was able to connect normally to their wifi (TP VSTM) using my phone but not on my laptop. So I made a QR image of that wifi (on my phone while connecting to it) and read it online (on my laptop) to make sure I’m entering the correct password. I tried connecting using nmtui at first but it kept prompting me to re-enter the password, then using nmcli which showed a message about a secret not provided.

journalctl -b 0 -f -u NetworkManager.service | tee networkmanager.log
The log shows :
Activation: (wifi) asking for new secrets
device (wlp2s0): no secrets: No agents were available for this request.
device (wlp2s0): state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets', sys-iface-state: 'managed')
<info> [1704445064.8171] manager: NetworkManager state is now DISCONNECTED
but I didn’t get any prompt other than the one asking my root password for connecting.
What I have: I’m running OpenSUSE Slowroll (latest upgrade as of today) with Sway WM (the openSUSEway pattern)
Infos about my system:
I have this issue occasionally when my laptop tries to use WPA3 to connect. Even with the correct password, it fails to set up.
Try verifying or manually setting it to use WPA2 Personal.
