Hello! I use an Arch Linux distro with KDE on an ASUS X570 board that has built-in wifi. The issue is that I can’t for the life of me get the wifi to work without asking me for the wifi password what feels like every hour. The hardware is active, the software is active, Network Manager is active, the wifi profile is fine, the SSID is fine, the security type is set properly, the password is saved and set to use for all users. I’ve tried restarting Network Manager, installing Network Manager with iwd backend, updating my system, restarting my system, and using nmtui to force home wifi.

    The password for kwallet is different bc I thought I might have ended up using it to manage money. I did not.

      change it to be the same and it shouldn’t prompt you to open it anymore. The wifi password issue should go too

        The issue still occurs, but not nearly as often as it did before.

            I restarted my system. All of my configurations should be equivalent to those in the wiki. I’ll reply again if the issue still occurs in a few days.

            Unfortunately, the wifi password issue still occurs, but at least it is even less frequent than before (>1 day between password requests).

        Do you know how I would do that when I cannot access kwallet from the settings?

          KWallet Manager is the app to do all things KWallet. It should come preinstalled with KDE Plasma

            Apparently I had uninstalled the kwallet manager. I’ll change the password and see if my problem still occurs.
