Yes, a checkbox/selector should be added to nm-applet (for PPTP) that is
mapped to "password-flags".

Until the nm-applet GUI is not fixed, here is the workaround to disable
password saving.

Setup the flag "password-flags=2" under [vpn] section in the related VPN config file, located here in Ubuntu:
  
  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<name of your vpn connection>

[vpn]
password-flags=2

Title:
  Not possible to disable "save password" in network manager

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I liked the Maverick release in regards to the VPN setup. When no
  password was filledin it asked for a password each time I try to
  login. Handy because I need to enter a unique ID each time via a VASCO
  key.

  Since Oneiric I need to clear the password each time I want to connect
  to the VPN so I can enter the correct one. Although there is nowhere a
  checkbox to be seen that sets save password (like in the previous
  version) it does it anyhow. Is this a bug (or was the previous way to
  do it a bug)?

  Is there a setting I missed? It seems something in the network
  manager.
