I have the same problem as described by the original poster.
In nm-connection editor, create a new network
Connection name: Wireless connection 1
Wireless tab:
SSID: Q9PDANE813
Mode: Infrastructure
Wireless security tab:
Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal
Password: A12B34C56D78E90F12
OK.
Close connection editor. Open it again.
Password has changed to a long string starting: 5e470696...
Open Seahorse, Passwords tab.
Network secret for Wireless connection 1/802-11-wireless-security/psk
Properties, show password.
It has the same long string starting: 5e470696...
Interesting that this is the same string obtained by
$ wpa_passphrase Q9PDANE813 A12B34C56D78E90F12
network={
ssid="Q9PDANE813"
#psk="A12B34C56D78E90F12"
psk=5e470696...snip
}
So, nm-connection editor is storing the wrong thing in the keyring.
