How to change Access Point Default Password?

[magus66]

Hi there!

I searched Google as well as this forum but wasn't successful:

how do I change the standard, default password for the AP from "micropythoN" to something else?

Thanks.

Here is where the magic happens. So it would seem to be an undocumented feature of

AbstractNIC.config(param=value, ...)

This is implemented (on ESP8266) here.

Not undocumented, however the non-obvious part is that you also need to set authmode.
