I would like to add that if you choose to store the password for all users, then it works, the password is stored by NetworkManager.
However, the bug is important because it affects the default option selected for anyone willing to use a VPN connection: store password for the current user. Any Ubuntu user who is trying to use a VPN connection will probably decide to give up because of NetworkManager unability to store the password, despite what the GUI says. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851725 Title: NetworkManager forgets VPN credentials Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, Since recently, I can't import a VPN connection in NetworkManager and store my credentials.
