Title:
NetworkManager interprets escape sequences in passwords
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
My wi-fi password contains the string "\n" amongst a number of other
random characters. Recently I have noticed that the wi-fi will no
longer connect, and when I click "show password" there is a non-
printable character where there should be the characters "\n".
The first time I enter my password it connects fine, but the second
time it has the broken password. This has only started happening since
upgrading to 10.04.1.
Steps to reproduce:
# Change your wi-fi password to include the characters "\n"
# Connect to your wi-fi with the new password, saving it in the keyring.
# Log off/restart your computer.
# Connect to the wi-fi again.
Desired outcome: wi-fi connects.
Actual outcome: wi-fi does not connect. Inspection will reveal that the "\n"
in the password now appears as a new line character.
