Hi,

Hopefully I am in the right place to ask this question as it is not really an issue but a question about configuration.

My Wifi password is shown in the Serial Monitor when connecting, is it possible to not show it or have it show ******* instead?

Thanks.

It will not show up if you pick a lower debug level

Thanks for the suggestion, my debug level is at "None" and it still shows-up.

Ok, I understand what you mean now.
I set it using wifiManager.setDebugOutput(false);
The password does not show anymore.
I'll study the various debug levels a bit more.
Thanks for your help!

it is hardcoded atm in the .h file you can change it using a compiler flag also. it is set to the highest level for alpha testing

WM_DEBUG_LEVEL
