I am new to the Arduino community so please excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask.

I am planning a small sensor project at home and part of it is that I would like to connect a Lolin D1 Mini to my home WiFi using the WiFiManager library. The catch is that my WiFi is running WPA3 and I would not like to revert to a lower security standard (i.e., WPA2).

Therefore, my question is: Does WiFiManager support connecting to WPA3 networks?

I found some documentation on the Expressif website indicating that ESP8266/ESP32 chips are able to connect to WPA3 networks from the hardware side ([1]) but other sources indicated that software support is not a given ([2]).

I am glad for any help on this topic!

This is more a tool chain issue than an WiFiManager issue.

The latest ESP-IDF versions 4.0 and above do support WPA3. If you use platform.io with the latest platform-espressif32 package (3.4.0) there should be no problem. That is based on ESP-IDF 4.3.1
