The 802.1X authentication works only by putting password in the config file:
password=[your password]
It seems like network manager is unable to send username/password.

still not working. Shame on developers who release LTS with such kind of bug.

Same happens to me on the wired network.
Wireless doesn't have this issue.

setting the password in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<profile> doesn't help either. Still popping up with a request.

I have the same problem as B@MB@M (bart-bamweb) .
Writting the password in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<profile> doesn't solve the problem for me.
