WifI configuiring interface and then asks for password continiously

I installed Arch on a 2015 Macbook Pro and while all networks show up I can't connect to any of them anymore. I am completely new to linux and arch so please bear with me. I have tried installing firmware and a few other solutions from forums but nothing has worked so far. I'm not sure what logs are useful so please let me know so I can share them.

I don't know how much this matters but I used wlan0 on installation with iwctl and it worked now however I only see wlp3s0.

For clarification: wifi worked from the install iso but does no longer on the installed system?
Did you install https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … oadcom-wl/ ?

Installing iwd (you're now using wpa_supplicant) implies this because the service cannot handle the name change properly.
The name itself is irrelevant, but not having the boradcom-wl driver and using wpa_supplicant instead of iwd might cause the difference (in that order, with a huge gradient - it's way more likely you need the broadcom-wl driver)
