Hello evryone, I need help with this annoying problem where I can’t connect to some specific wifi even though I’m entering the correct password.

I went to a coffee house near my in-laws for some alone time where I got this annoying problem again. I was able to connect normally to their wifi (TP VSTM) using my phone but not on my laptop. So I made a QR image of that wifi (on my phone while connecting to it) and read it online (on my laptop) to make sure I’m entering the correct password. I tried connecting using nmtui at first but it kept prompting me to re-enter the password, then using nmcli which showed a message about a secret not provided.

journalctl -b 0 -f -u NetworkManager.service | tee networkmanager.log

The log shows :

Activation: (wifi) asking for new secrets
device (wlp2s0): no secrets: No agents were available for this request.
device (wlp2s0): state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets', sys-iface-state: 'managed')
<info>  [1704445064.8171] manager: NetworkManager state is now DISCONNECTED

but I didn't get any prompt other than the one asking my root password for connecting.

What I have: I’m running OpenSUSE Slowroll (latest upgrade as of today) with Sway WM (the openSUSEway pattern)
