Mb Late but for me this help

nmcli connection delete DIR-842 
nmcli device wifi connect <SSID> password <PASSWORD>

I've been experiencing this with either of the backends for the past few months, and lately the aforementioned "solution" of deleting the connection stopped working. I now occasionally get this same error even on the first connection attempt, after purging saved connections and even rebooting for a good measure.

edit:
Just had to reboot the laptop to connect to either of the two wifi networks in my house

Just in case, I'm using gnome-keyring.

I suspect this is related to how NM stores the network key and whether something like kwallet or gnome-keyring is involved.

What DE do you use (or password/secret manager if there's a standalone one)?

So, uh, the only reliable way to connect to wifi for me right now is to

1. nmcli connection delete $ssid
2. systemctl restart iwd
3. nmcli dewice wifi connect $ssid

Either of the first two steps on it's own is not helping.

You're not supposed to start iwd when using NM itfp.
Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f
