The problems I have identified so far:
1. If you have the rights org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own
you will not be able to make a connection by selecting available networks.
2. The option "Available to all users" seems to be implied when you select a
connection from available net
It may look as this is an implementation problem rather than a problem
with Network Manager itself. Though I still believe that even allowing
passwords to be stored as text is a security flaw, it is possible to
configure NM so that it does not store passwords in text files. I have
tried KDE and had

I am also having issues with this. In my use case, with
NetworkManager-1.0.9.6.4-3.fc17 (64-bit), I have a VPN connection for a
non-root user which is set to NOT connect automatically and NOT allowed
on a system basis. If I do not enter a passphrase I cannot save the VPN
configuration. If I do add

The normal way of connecting with wireless is to select a connection
from the list. If this is a "secure" connection the user is required t

Well thats what happens when I spend too long thinking about an answer.
The other part slips one in unseen :)

As long as it is not in plain text in a file on the filesystem I do not

If you want to store wifi passwords on a per-user basis, you should
create user wifi connections, not system wifi connections. When creating
the connection, uncheck the "Available to all users" check box.

keyring, it is still tri
Those files do not have appropriate permissions. Anyone with root access
can read them. While we do have a certain amount of trust in our
administrators we do not want to hand them the passwords of our users.

random password. Thi
I also notice that VPN-connection somehow manages NOT to store the

Title:
NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text
This is by design. The passwords are stored in files which have
appropriate permissions, and the system must be able to retrieve them to
transmit to wireless networks. Obfuscating the passwords in those files
in a recoverable way would not improve security.
