[Bug 881807] [NEW] Network manager requires the wrong number of characters for the WPA password

 

Public bug reported:

If I attempt to connect to a WPA network, when I type in the password,
the "connect" button lights up after typing 5 characters, but goes dark
again when I type more. The password is longer than 5 characters, so I
can't connect to the network.

This is the scan details for the network:
