I also had that problem, but didn't think much of it since I don't really turn off my VPN often. It only really affected me when either my first issue occurred or ProtonVPN crashed for whatever reason. So far, running ProtonVPN through OpenVPN had solved this issue for me.

This has worked nicely! Thanks

All of my other devices are either Windows or Android for convenience. The VPN works on Windows, but I can't isolate this issue via that route as those devices are old and have their own issues.

I have tried running my system without vpn and this specific issue hasn't appeared from yesterday until now. It is making me feel a little uncomfortable not having it on though.

I'm going to try another suggestion, then I'll come back to this one if it still doesn't work.

Unfortunately, the wifi password issue still occurs, but at least it is even less frequent than before (>1 day between password requests).

I restarted my system. All of my configurations should be equivalent to those in the wiki. I'll reply again if the issue still occurs in a few days.

I do indeed have plasma-meta.

The issue still occurs, but not nearly as often as it did before.

Apparently I had uninstalled the kwallet manager. I'll change the password and see if my problem still occurs.

Do you know how I would do that when I cannot access kwallet from the settings?

Unfortunately, several other programs use this as a dependency and some of those programs are required by stuff like plasma-meta.

The password for kwallet is different bc I thought I might have ended up using it to manage money. I did not.

I have checked for for anything to do with kwallet in settings and searched for it with kwin. Kwallet doesn't exist in either of those for me, only at system restart.
