KDE no longer gets credentials for wifi network on first try.

Hey, I have recently updated arch linux and it turned out that it takes a good minute from a login for network manager/nm-applet/something to get credentials for a wifi network.
Basically after I login from sddm system tries to connect to a wifi network, but fails because it doesn't get credentials on first try.
So it takes a minute before it gives up on connecting and rescaning avalible wifi networks, and connects right away on first try.
When logging in with a tty and starting kde session from xinit file instead of sddm kde-wallet prompt shows up and right after I enter user/kde wallet credentials the wifi network connects right away.
How do I fix it/make nm-plasmashell-applet/network manager gain credentials on first try right after login?

Have you tried enabling the connection for all users, and saving the password unencrypted options in your connections properties in Network Manager.

Yes I have tried enabling the connection for all users, I haven't tried saving the password unencrypted yet.

I have followed:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KD … y_on_login
I installed kwallet-pam module and kwalletmanager andd that fixed the issue.
