Jonas, in regards to your message as to whether the password field would
be empty due to the password field becoming optional, the password field
has never contained a generated password.  The user has always had to
enter their own password. The only change is that now the buttons will
become sensitive on default.

** Description changed:

  The current design for setting up a hotspot assumes that it must always have 
a key.
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#hotspot>
  
  Tony Espy points out that this may be unnecessary and annoying where
  you, or people you trust, are the only people in range of the hotspot
  for usable periods of time. For example, when camping or on a road trip.
  
  This could be fixed by making the key optional. For example, adding a
  "Require a key to connect" checkbox, where the "Key:" field is present
  only when the checkbox is checked.
+ 
+ UX Resolution:
+ 
+ The password field is now optional.

       Status: Triaged => Fix Committed
