Comment 2 for bug 1633413

I agree that this is very inconvenient. For example, I have a system at home that I leave unattended but I need it to reconnect automatically to my wifi, because I need to access it from abroad. If there is a disconnect and it can't reconnect immediately (e.g., because of a router reboot), the password dialog will prevent network manager from connecting to my wifi again, effectively killing my access to this machine.

So I would say that even if network manager needs to ask for the password because it can't know whether the password is correct, this should not block all other operations: network manager should try connecting to the wifi in the background (and if it succeeds, hide the dialog).
