add your user to the 'network' group
Which is not true ... When you create a connection as a system-connection, address settings, DNS, BSSID, SSID and so on will be stored below /etc/NetworkManager/, but this does *not* include the credentials in general. For ethernet, you typically don't have credentials (you can use 802.1X on wired, but ...) For wireless, at least the KDE/Plasma NM applet offers three selections: - unencrypted (user session) - encrypted (stored in user KWallet) - unencrypted (system wide) Each of these settings do state clearly if the password is stored unencrypted. (Sorry, do not have the exact wording at hand.) You can significantly shorten the time between login and network connection if you use e.g. pam_kwallet5 to open the wallet.
