How do you read ssid and wifi network password?

MIT App Inventor Help

The function was to be used to automatically configure the ESP32 module so that the module can use the same wifi network as the phone. After that, it would be useful to know in the application whether the wifi network is 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

I've seen this expansion. Unfortunately, I don't see any password return method there. Unless the password will be saved with the SSID? Unless Taifun would like to add a method that I could sponsor.

As already said earlier, see the answers here
