SUMMARY
***
By default, NetworkManager stores passwords in clear text in the connection
files at /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.
The passwords are accessible to the root user in the filesystem.
It is preferable to save the passwords in encrypted form in a keyring instead
of clear text.
However after modifying connection settings to store passwords encrypted the
connection fails.

2. in the General configuration tab, untick All users may connect to this
network
