WiFi password prompt is annoyingly useless.
I use WiFi with OTP, it means I have to enter my password every time. However, I need to use WiFi just sometimes. But the WiFi password prompt behavior is highly annoying. It works like this.
- I start my computer.
- I am asked for WiFi password, but I have no intention to connect to WiFi, so I ignore it.
- After a while, I would love to connect, but although the password prompt sits in the notification area, it does not help me to connect to WiFi. It just sits there and does nothing.
- If I disconnect my docking station from docking station and try to select WiFi to connect, at that moment there is typically just spinner instead of list of WiFis.
- Now I have to switch off and on WiFi to get the password prompt again.
And I am not even mentioning, that if I select the WiFi password prompt from notification are, the notification are is kept open and the dialog appears bellow.
I can tell you that this user experience is really horrible. I would appreciate if the password prompt, when it stays in notification area always allowed to connect to WiFi, no matter if the original attempt somehow expired. That would tremendously help.
