How do I change the password for the Default Keyring for my Wi-Fi connection?
#1
My password for logging-on with LL2 is the same as the password requested by the default keyring, whenever I try to access the Wi-Fi
connection to the internet.  I don't think this is sensible, as anyone who successfully hacks the router password will presumably be able to access my root files. I am particularly keen to change this password, in view of the malware attack I suffered recently which I reported on 11 posts earlier in this same part of the forum

My question is therefore: how do I change the password for  the default keyring password in LL2?

Many thanks for any help with this.
Regards
Mike

2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

Hello Mike,

Can it be done this way ?
Menu>All>Network Connections>Edit

Have you enabled the firewall  ?
Command Line Interface
Code:
sudo ufw enable
You can read its manual by using
Code:
man ufw

This topic is sadly still there. Because It happens to me. If I added my wifi Connection, it wants a keyring pasword set. This is not acepptable. It's more secure to have it like it was. Meaning like it was... You have to set your wifi password every time you have disconnected from it.

Hello!

Right-click wireless icon > click 'Edit Connections' > select connection to edit > click 'Edit' > click 'General' tab > if not already there, click on 'All users may connect to this network'.

Try that, and if the problem persists, we'll go from there to disabling the keyring...
