Comment # 36 on bug 1084943 from
The reason why an error message show up firstly is when NM asks for secrets,
sddm
session hasn't quitted yet.

Then as mentioned in this commit[1] message, WPS push-button method is enabled
by default, which means when a connection fails with no secret WPS push-button
will be used.

This makes activation of a connection longer than before. During the first
activation attempt, user session starts and secret agent registers. NM will
retry the activation, and until then Wi-Fi will be connected as secret agent is
there providing the needed password.

The possible improvement to this issue I can think of is to disable WPS
push-button method by default to reduce the duration of the first activation
process.

Thought?
