I am using nmcli on ArchLinux (version 1.14.5dev+17+gba83251bb-1 from the official package repository) to connect to wifi. This works perfectly for all wireless networks apart from this one Vodafone EasyBox network.
Trying to activate the connection with the correct password gives me the following error message:
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'EasyBox-123456'.
Warning: password for '802-11-wireless-security.psk' not given in 'passwd-file' and nmcli cannot ask without '--ask' option.
Error: Connection activation failed: Secrets were required, but not provided
However, 802-11-wireless-security.psk is stored, as you can see here:

I tried several things, including restart NetworkManager/wpa-supplicant, the router, and disabling PMF, but nothing worked.
Specifying --ask asks me for a password, but gives me the same error message afterwards. Removing and recreating the connection using nm-connection-editor didn't help either. It works without any problems on my Android device.
How can I connect to this Network?
