I'm connecting to some enterprise wireless network (eduroam).

The thing is that it saves the User/Password in the wireless settings, anyone can click 'Show password' and see my university account password.

What I want is that it prompts me everytime the credentials inputs when I try to connect to the network and don't save it under the 'settings' page.

Is this possible? If yes, how?

Thanks

When you're entering your credentials while connecting for the first time, click on the symbol in the "Password" field. A pop-up should appear. Select "Ask for this password every time".

    That's a sneaky place where to put those options ! (and also I have the 'users' icon instead of the question mark) Thanks for the tip, it worked

    @toto 'users' icon will turn into a question mark after you select "Ask for this password every time" ; )

  • I don't get that window above upon connecting to a network, and, for some reason, selecting "Ask for this password every time" in the settings greys out the Apply button when I try to...well, apply the setting.

  • @MonatheMonad Most probably it's greyed out due to some other incomplete/wrongly-filled field(s).

  • I'm not sure what other fields there are that would be incomplete or wrongly filled. On my end, it's just two drop-down boxes and a checkbox (Security, Password, and Show password).
