Somebody from proton told me how to solve this! See here. It was something incredibly simple nm-applet needs to be running for NetworkManager to use this feature. Definitely seems to be a case of some really lousy logging on NetworkManagers part.

Anyway, if anyone else encounters this, you just need:

  • gnome-keyring installed and started with gnome-keyring-daemon --start somewhere in your i3 config.
  • The nm-applet running, again, put an exec in your i3 config.

Thanks all!
