Bug description:
[Impact]
nm-applet does not save passwords for 802.1X on Ethernet connections,
thus users will need to input password every time when connecting to
it.
[Test case]
Connect to an 802.1X enabled Ethernet port, choose save password when
authentication. Disconnect the network and reconnect, users should not
be prompted again for credentials.
[Regression potential]
The fix is a one liner that only deals with secrets handling of
certain time, potential of regression is minimal.
