Password not found:
Linux:
Make sure your network passwords are stored correctly in NetworkManager's storage directory. This is in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/. NetworkManager can work by checking if the passwords are stored with another program, but you need to store them in this directory for this program to work.
MacOS/Windows:
You probably have something broken with your WiFi storage. If not, submit an issue to this repository with information.
NetworkManager isn't installed:
This program does not work without NetworkManager on Linux. If you want to use this program, install it using your distributions package manager or software center. Not using NetworkManager is a strange decision, but that's an issue for another time.
