WiFi station mode password

[OutoftheBOTS_]

I have added this line in my Wifi setup

ap.config(essid="ESP32", password="OOTB")

It sets the essid fine but doesn't require a password to connect.

Is there a way to password protect the ESP32 in station mode so that only people with the password can connect to the ESP32

[quote ...]ESP32 in station mode[/quote] Think you mean AP mode. There use to be a file in the standard micropython build that when you booted the first time it asked for a password.

Maybe, this helps:

You also need to set the `security` option in ap.config to tell it which security mode to use.

Code: Select all

ap.config(essid="ESP32", password="OOTB", security=network.AUTH_WPA2_PSK)

(Note: in older firmware this was called "authmode". As of 1.19.1, both options are accepted).

See https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... LAN.config and https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... .WLAN.scan

Sorry, I said the wrong thing. I should have said that it's been renamed _after_ 1.19.1 (the commit was merged later in the same day).
