Fedora-33 :: Second password entry, when I click "connect", fails ...

[nmvega]

Hello Friends:

I launch the ProtonVPN app (installed via dnf(1)), and enter my username and password. That works. But when I attempt to actually connect, a Linux dialogue box -- Authorization Required -- pops up requesting a password to be entered again. When I paste in that same password, it fails (wrong password).

Side Note: I think that second Authorization Required prompt comes from Gnome Keyring (but I could be wrong). I use XFCE as my desktop, by the way.

For that second password, I tried both my ProtonVPN password as well as my Linux user account password (in case it's requesting access to a keyring or something). I'm just guessing.

Any ideas? Do you need logs? Thank you in advance!

Thank you!

Same issue here, Fedora KDE spin. Found a another open issue showing it needs nm-applet. Running this manually does not help me.

It is requesting your OpenVPN/IKEv2 password. Find it in your account settings → OpenVPN / IKEv2. You have to enter this password each time you connect.

I don't understand why this is necessary. Why can it not be stored in the keyring?
