I'd like the Foundation to have an issue (story) for this in its Laptop Project, <https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/>. In <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicant.conf&sektion=5&manpath=freebsd-release>; for wpa_supplicant.conf(5), the example for eduroam uses a clear text password. I'm not aware of a method to have the password saved without clear text. The password should be truly private, for my eyes only. Not for the eyes of any other administrator of an installation of FreeBSD. <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272902>; was mentioned in an Enterprise Working Group (EWG) context in FreeBSD Discord in August 2023, <https://discord.com/channels/727023752348434432/1132041364759121962/1136420798324809739>. Thanks
