Sailfish times out while writing the WiFi password [duplicate]
The issue is that the phone seems to have a certain time limit on how long you are allowed to type the password and after that period it just says "can't connect to network".
The WiFi password in question is long and complicated and I can't manage to type it in fast enough. This is a clear security issue as it forces users to use short simple passwords.
I have the same issue but it does not affect the ability to set the password correctly. I think only the connection check to ipv4.jolla.com is failing and thus the error message is thrown. But after saving the password everything is fine.

I did find a workaround with devel mode
This is the format of the wifi settings file. So what can be done is to change pswd, connect and get this file generated and then create the same one on your PC (ANSI encoding) and copy it to the phone then co in dev mode and overwrite the old settings file with the good pswd.
Not very useful other than at home but at least it enabled me to use a secure password.
