- --- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Settings for connections are saved in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/  and not in user home directories.

So even user has encrypted home directory his wifi keys are unencrypted saved. In case of stolen notebook invader has access to any of these wifi networks.

In my case there is also saved password for VPN network in [vpn-secrets] simply in a plain format.

There is also any possibility to save different wifi networks for different users.
