Bug Description

Hi,

when configuring a VPN connection (openvpn) with the Network-Manager applet (LXDE) even when leaving the password empty Network Manager insists on putting the password into the keyring and to reuse it, even if this does not make sense and causes an error message on the server side, if it's a one-time-password (state of the art).

NM needs a One-Time-Password-Option.

Network-Manager just sabotaged my VPN connection.

It used the (expired one-time-)password it stored in the keyring several times again to try to login, until the server blocked the account due to too many login failures.
