Bug Description
When using KDE Network Manager I can connect to wifi networks without problems. The problem appears when I want to connect to saved networks by tools like nmtui and nmcli. Both these tools can see saved networks but when I want to connect to these networks nmtui asks for a password and nmcli displays an error that the password isn't in config files.
How to reproduce this problem:
1. Add network in Network Manager by GUI (KDE or Gnome).
2. Switch to virtual console (ctrl+alt+fx)
3. Use nmtui to connect to the saved network or use nmcli connection up <ssid> command.
