Hi, Thanks for the great library!
Is it possible to hide the access point(SSID)?
and how to connect if there is a network that requires a user name or something like a login key?

Yes it is possible I think, let me check.

Logging into portals will be hard though

I have a trouble with the SSID, because after the success login with the captive portal, the AP SSID still detectable, but don't active, that is, I keep seeing the SSID, but I can't connect to it. Do you know something like this and a solution?

@dknop97 That is the esp doing that, it is the default, you will need to set wifi mode to sta in your code

WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

// set ap hidden
void          setWiFiAPHidden(bool hidden); // default false

this is for the feature @muzzamil1 requested

Just set that before calling autoconnect etc..

wm.setWiFiAPHidden(true); // hide the portal ap

when i add wm.setWiFiAPHidden(true); before autoconnect, there is access point(SSID) named : "Hidden Wifi".

i think your code is wrong.
