Can esp8266 lib even detect this ?

Combined with strength logic, this might be neat for a roaming option.
Could also add wildcard ap matching, for example how xfinity and atts free wifi works.

i think you can detext open ip networks, but then it needs logic to retry the connection when you fail, and so on.
i am thinking that might be better off in a separate library just for that, outside the scope of WiFiManager

Agreed, Maybe we can just add secure flags to the listings for manual ID.
