Public bug reported:

When an OpenVPN configuration requires a password, but one is not saved
in the VPN configuration, Network Manager should prompt for a password
if the password is empty or not saved.

It should also prompt for a password if their is a saved password which
is invalid.

OpenVPN supports using time based OTP (Google Auth and Similar), in
which the one time code is entered in the password field.

This requires a user to open their VPN configuration every time they
login and edit the configuration before they connect, instead of simply
trying to connect, and getting a password dialog to enter their one time
password.
