Edit WiFi Password

Hi @GenXI, I just took a look and I can confirm the GUI tool does not seem to be working correctly.

If you right-click on the nm-tray icon, there is a context menu with an option that says "Edit connections...".

Unfortunately, when I click on it nothing happens--seems like there is a fly in the ointment somewhere.

For now, you'll have to remove the network manually.

To list available connections:

nmcli connection show
NAME                UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE
Wired connection 1  c449b82f-42a8-3b06-b561-3642b00279ab  ethernet  eno1
Chance The Router   420188ed-93ca-442c-9678-e8f5546811db  wifi      --

In my example here, you can see I have the ethernet connection, and also a WiFi connection named "Chance The Router" which I have connected to with the incorrect password.

To remove the Chance The Router connection:

nmcli connection delete "Chance The Router"

It should give you a confirmation like this:

Connection 'Chance The Router' (420188ed-93ca-442c-9678-e8f5546811db) successfully deleted.

Now when I go back to the nm-tray it lets me attempt the password again:

I hope that helps! :slightly_smiling_face:
