SSID and password, stored in flash by default?
Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2017 9:44 pmGreetings, and thanks in advance....
I've noticed that it appears that the ESP8266 (I'm using a NodeMCU) saves the SSID and password between downloads of programs. For example, if I load a program that calls WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA), and then WiFi.begin(...) which establish a connection to the AP and then follow it with a program that doesn't make those calls that connecting to the AP is handled anyway.
Those calls were missing from the 2nd program due to me unintentionally not adding them. oops!?
Is this expected behavior? If yes, are there any advantages to that behavior?
Thanks!
