Where does Network Manager get its "secrets?"

I am experimenting with PEAP authentication on a wireless network via Network Manager, and in the NM logs (journalctl -u NetworkManager), I keep seeing a line like this one:

Sep 11 10:56:26 anchor NetworkManager[1300]: <info> Activation (wlp2s0/wireless): connection 'foo' has security, and secrets exist.  No new secrets needed.

In this case, I have mangled the network's settings in a way where it shouldn't be able to connect, and to the best of my knowledge, there are cached "secrets" that is still allowing NM to connect to the network.  I would like to manage these secrets somehow, or flush them at the very least.  How would I go about this?
