Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I just tested the daily (20200303) on 'live'
sony vaio ultrabook (i5-9400u, 4gb, intel haswell-ULT)
and got a "Connection Lost" top right when an incorrect password was used (WPA2, hidden).

The incorrect password was saved in Network Connections before any checking is performed. To me the box is a data entry box & at worst may only trip newbies who hopefully will be following documentation (https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/3/3.1/3.1.5/nm-tray.html)

When the invalid password is changed to the correct password, instead of the "Connection Lost" I get a "Connection Established" prompt.

To me all messages seemed clear.

However I didn't evaluate the documentation I made reference to.
@MarkF do we need better documentation? or can you suggest improvements? as many that's our problem.
