wifi not connecting auto after reboot

HI, I am using artix-mate-openrc. I have a strange issue . I connect to my wifi and it works fine , but when i reboot the system or power it on . Then i have to give the password again on every reboot. I don't know what am i missing. This is happening for the first time with me. Artix forget the wifi when powered off. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Connman or NetworkManager? More info please.
i noticed one more thing: i use cronjob at boot to change my mac addresses(through macchanger) on every boot. and it does .. my mac addresses are always different. but the connman is still showing my original mac in wifi settings. 2) i close connman while wifi is connected. and then open the connman and the autoconnect option is turned of.. so i enable autoconnect and apply .. then close connman.. but when i see it again the auto connect is disabled and that is the reason why i need to give password again and again when reboot. connman disable the auto connect feature itself....

here comes another another thing.. i have changed the screensaver from blank to pop art squares. and when i do not touch the laptop the blank screen is activated and not the selected pop art squares. in short the settings are not taking effect... ( note: these were all fine 2days ago... all this is happening from yesterday) and i don't know why.. i did not messed or interacted with anything...

I think this is my badluck man... because i was using xfce before and you know what problem came with xfce... i opened issue for that and you replied to me.. in xfce when i do not touch the laptop and the blank screen becomes active then it will not show the graphical display...... then i reinstalled the iso and disabled the screensaver to avoid this issue but then  while using alacritty  i tried to open firefox and it was not launching then i closed alacritty and tried to open alacritty again and found out that xfce was not functional. so i moved to mate-openrc which is the one i have currently installed. ( also note that i also tried lxqt before xfce and in lxqt once the screensaver is activated i will have to reboot the machine in order to get the lxqt desktop working)..... NOTE: these issues only appears in artix.. and not in other distros..as im not new to linux.... i have been using it for 1 year....
