Bug Description

There are some wifi access points that I have to connect to for work. They have 63 digit passwords with special characters. Ubuntu Desktop has no problem connecting. But Ubuntu Touch is unable to connect at all.

At home, I configured a router with a similar password and Ubuntu cannot connect. If I make the password something like 12 digits, it connects fine.

Considering long passwords aid security, this bug should receive higher priority.

This bug can be deleted. It appears the problem is the phone cannot connect to 5GHz networks.

This bug is valid after all. It appears that Ubuntu Touch is unable to connect to network that have long passwords. I'm tired of trying but a 16 digit password works. 17-19 I don't know about. If the password is 20 digits or longer, the OS is totally unable to use the Access Point. A major issue as it cannot even connect to a perfectly good network simply because the access point is using a long password.
