I suppose many of you will be fed up with having to enter the blessed password every time you want to connect to the Internet. For me, it is one more security measure. For most mortals it is simply annoying.
Unlike other mini-tutorials in which it is suggested to delete the password of our keyring (thus making our Linux a much more vulnerable system), here we will only avoid the password request for the Internet connection, keeping everything else the same .

Many, like me, prefer to have auto-login activated, so our «keyring» is not unlocked at startup and every time we try to connect to the Internet, the Network Administrator asks us for our password, to unlock the keyring and that this, in turn, unblock the password used by the wireless connection. Fortunately, there is a simple method to solve this problem, which I found in the blog from the developer of Wasiliana y Kazam.
Step by step
Go to Applications> System> Preferences> Network Connections.
Then, go to the tab where your Internet connection is listed. In my case, it is a Wireless connection, so I would have to go to the respective tab. Select the connection you use and click the button Edit.
A dialog box should appear. At the bottom, enable the option that says Available for all users.
Finally, click on the button Apply. A PolicyKit window should appear asking for your password (for the last time). Enter the password, click Authenticate, and you're done.
This method is preferable to others (very popular around the web) since instead of unlocking our keyring (which stores ALL our passwords), when we want to do something else "forbidden" the system will keep asking us for our password (for example, to install programs, etc.). In fact, you will not even be able to see the password used by your Wireless connection without first entering your keyring password. However yeah you will be able to connect to the Internet without the Network Manager asking for your password.
