I am using an old laptop with lan access to act as a wifi hotspot, but Somewhy I am not able to connect to this hotspot on my other laptop.
when I use nmcli to connect to it,
```
nmcli dev wifi connect "ssid" password "password"
```
I'm getting
> Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.
hotspot connection work if I disable the security, but not able to connect the moment I set a password. both the laptops are using Networkmanager. Not sure what to do here
