Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/908

On my project I need do it:

On first device start I need use WiFiManager to connect find and connect to WIFI;
On other device start I don't want use WiFiManager but get SSID and password saved by WiFiManager and try to connect with these data until connect is established;

My device have a reset button to delete all settings (also WIFI settings) so next start WiFiManager must be run.

Is there a way to know if WiFiManager just have stored SSID and password and get these data?
In this way I can enable and disable WiFiManager on start.

wifimanger does not save anything, esp does, so just use esp functions, also autoconnect already only lanches the captiveportal if the connection fails.
