My 2021 MacBook Pro after upgrading to Sonoma is now now asking for a wpa2 password on my home network. This worked for 2 years and this behavior began after the upgrade. A Windows machine, iPads and iPhones
all still connect with no issues.
I see MANY suggestions for this on previous hardware and software, but none of those (so far) have worked for me. Any new ideas?

It would be helpful if you provided the EtreCheck report using the Additional Text option when posting. EtreCheck was developed by a fellow user here to show what is being launched on startup that may be conflicting with Sonoma on your computer. The report contains no personal information and is free to use.

I chased what I suspect was an iCloud Keychain corruption that did something like this.
I resolved it by shutting off iCloud Keychain everywhere, shutting down everything using that Apple ID, starting up one device, removing the problem Wi-Fi network there, re-adding and re-entering the Wi-Fi SSID and password, and then re-enabling iCloud Keychain everywhere.
Also check the firmware on your Wi-Fi equipment and update to current as available, as that too can cause all sorts of weird.
delete that Network.
when you re-add it, you can specify the password anew, and that may fix it.
have you added or enabled any VPN features?
have you added any proxies?
are you using any third-party Virus scanners or other 'protection' software?
¿Does the same problem occur when you restart and stay in Safe mode?
I assume after you are connected to the Network that when you go to > System Settings > Wifi, and click on Details of the connected network, that the "Automatically join this Network" box is checked.
well 14.3 update & new router from ISP and connectivity issue has disappeared, thanks for all the suggestions
more than one access point on your home network?
maybe you connected to a different one.
and when you deleted it previously, you went to:
system preferences >network > Wi-Fi > (Advanced) > Wifi and used the remove [-] button to remove it form the list there:
Got some followup to this. My intel based iMac connects to my wifi no issue (not on Sonoma). This computer will connect to other networks (took it to another location and connected to its wifi just fine). Also, tried to connect to my ISP's hotspot network away from this location and got the same result (i.e. continued prompting of a password). So to recap, since upgrading a Apple silicon computer to Sonoma, I can not connect to either my ISP's router/wifi at this location using my network or to the ISP's hotspots away from this location. Anyone having M+ connectivity issues with Xfinity after upgrading to Sonoma?
No changes to home network. Simply upgraded Mac and it quit connecting to wifi, everything else (phones, tablets, Linux & Window computers all continue to connect just fine).
I took this computer out of the house and tried to connect to ISP hotspot last nite and it could not connect (prompted for login over and over).
This leads me to believe that there is something in Sonoma 14.2.1 that does not jive with my ISP hotspots and their gateway router/wifi.

That may be.
But to make progress, you need to try some experiments to see if anything changes under different conditions. Then maybe the problem can be identified and fixed.
There are NO fundamental, pervasive issues reported here with MacOS Wi-Fi under the most recent MacOS. If it simply "did not work" the number of posts about it would completely overwhelm the forums.
Apple shipped about 20 million Macs last year. That is a run rate of over 57,000 new Macs a DAY. if they all had problems, it would be quite obvious to Readers here, and the Trade Press would be all over Apple..
Thanks, tried that. Keeps prompting for the password. If I type it in or share it from another device it still re-prompts.
Just have 1 router/wifi
Yes it is.
Wpa2 requires a password
