Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I enter my WPA password (13-char alphanumeric) when prompted. Network Manager tries to connect but fails to authenticate and re-prompts me for my password. However, it prefills the password box with a seemingly random 64-character password which is incorrect and I'm not sure where it got it from (the first time after installation, it just presented an empty text box but subsequent times it presents this unknown password).
I can connect to a different, WPA-authenticated access point that uses a 64-character password.
Is it validating the password entered and concluding that the 13-character password isn't valid? The 13-character password is valid (albeit less secure) and used to work on Hardy.
I'm on a Samsung Q35 laptop.

Sorry. Just realised that I'd misremembered the roadmap and Alpha 6 is out. Will download now and re-check this on the latest updates.
