WiFi connection authentication with username and password

Hi,

I was wondering, some WiFi networks require user authentication i.e. username (e.g. email) and password. Is it possible to connect to such WiFi networks with either ThingerWebConfig and/or ThingerESP8266?

Did you ever find an answer to your question?
We have a wifi network that uses username, SSID and password, trying to figure out if we can simply omit the call to .add_wifi or if we can add the third parameter somehow.

If the device you are using supports this method of connecting to WiFi, you could try to establish the connection yourself in the setup (or in the loop before calling thing.handle). .add_wifi method is not required if you are using this approach. Thinger will check if the WiFi is already connected and, therefore, will not attempt to connect again.
