Connect to a WiFI with username and password

MIT App Inventor Help

Hi.
I have a WiFi network at work that use username and password authentication to allow login to WiFi like airports (Cisco?). The problem is it requires to login every day. And you can guess the password is not 123.
I wonder if it is possible to write an app that do the login. The login page opens in a webviewer or browser so my best idea is to fill the username and password fields somehow. First it is only a brainstorming because I do not even now if it is possible, but I gues it is. Though I am not a network expert neither expert in programming server-client like environments.
Every idea and opinion appriciated.

No success yet.
Either because it is a redirected page, (but the webviewer opens it) or because the elements does not have Id, or something else. I will try the redirected page tomorrow. To mess with the second case I have to dig myself in to the javascript and CSS a little. If anyone has any idea that I would appreciate greatly.

An other question.
I would like to use your WiFi manager extension. Only for connect.
I have android 14, API 37.
Can I use the free ver.14 or I have to buy the new version for this API level.
I tried to simply connect it but did not work. I do not know if I need any permission but the app did not give any error message.

Edit: I probably need Location Permission which is not in the free version. Can I Ask for it directly from the android?

Edit: I asked for permission but it did not help. Still does not try to connect.

Google changed a lot in this area as always to offer better security...

From the documentation at App Inventor Extensions: WiFi | Pura Vida Apps

Latest free version of the WiFi extension (without Network Request API and Network Suggestion API methods)

I still provide the latest free version 15 of the extension here without support. There might be permission issues for some methods. Also the Connect method will not work anymore for newer devices. It is recommended to use the paid version instead.

Please read in the documentation about the 2 different connect methods

  • Network Request API and
  • Network Suggestion API
