Bug Description
When importing a configuration from .ovpn file, I select "Store the password only for this user" for Private key in Network Manager's GUI. It then works as expected, great job! What I did not expect though, is possibility of seeing the Private key at any time afterwards (actually, the same issue applies to Password in Wi-Fi Security settings). The problem is, that this key is confidential and may only be used by our sysadmin at work, and I'm not allowed to know it, but still, I need to be able to connect to remote desktop in his absence, so the key should be stored somewhere in an encrypted format. I'd appreciate an option, that allows to hide this key from end-user - a way to disable Show password check-boxes and buttons for Private key after VPN was added, otherwise I cannot use remote desktop feature on Ubuntu at my current work. Thank you!

Please report this for the network-manager debian package, the snappy-hwe-snaps is only for the network-manager snap package.
