Yes, network-manager stores the password in your default keyring. The
keyring is protected by a password, for most convenience it is the same
as the users password. When you change your user password, the keyring
password is not changed and you have to authenticate twice (login and
for the default keyring). This problem is addressed by using pam-keyring
and changing the default keyrings password to your new user password.
