Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

Network-manager should ask the user before saving the password in the gnome keyring. Right now, there is no way to NOT remember a wifi password when I connect to a wifi network with network-manager. This cause problems on shared computers.

Confirm.

As a workaround though, you can go back in the configuration and delete the entry for the wifi you don't want to share... Plus these are really per-user.

Changed in network-manager (Ubuntu):

As soon as you connect again it will remember it once more. I'd appreciate an option not to remember.
