network manager won't store my WIFI password

hi everyone,

i seem to have a problem with my network manager (tried both the KDE network connection manager as well as the gnome nm-applet).
Whenever i want to connect to my wifi it asks for my WIFI password, although it's correctly stored in the network manager already and it won't accept it, the password prompt pops up over and over again.

I'm desperate, i don't know what else to do, or what's causing this problem.

I also started the nm-applet from the terminal and got this error message:

m-applet-Message: No keyring secrets found for SSID/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

does anyone have any ideas?

many thanks in advance,
theresa

Re: network manager won't store my WIFI password

Try to connect manually, open the terminal and issue the following:

ip link set <interface's name> down
ip link set <interface's name> up

Select your AP:

iwlist <interface's name> scan | grep ESSID

Connect to it:

wpa_supplicant -B -i <interface's name> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf

Then print the status:

systemctl status dhcpcd@<interface's name>.service

or

systemctl status dhcpcd.service

Is gnome-keyring installed?
