[smolbun]

AP password wouldn't save after changing it Tried changing the default password using either using the web interface or using the serial commands but after saving and then rebooting, the AP becomes open.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Change the default password from deauther to something else like test123
2. save & reboot
3. the AP is now open

Via serial terminal

WiFi] Path: '/web', Mode: 'AP', SSID: 'pwned', password: 'deauther', channel: '1', hidden: false, captive-portal: false
===============================
# set password test
Set password = test
# save
Settings saved in /settings.json
# reboot

....
Started AP
[WiFi] Path: '/web', Mode: 'AP', SSID: 'pwned', password: '', channel: '1', hidden: false, captive-portal: false

Unable to set password using startap either

# stopap
# startap -s testap -pswd test
Started AP
[WiFi] Path: '/web', Mode: 'AP', SSID: 'testap', password: 'deauther', channel: '1', hidden: false, captive-portal: false
