@mcspr I am facing a problem where Calling WiFi.softAP(SSIDS.c_str(), PASSS.c_str()); Isnt working, and not updating the ssid and password.
It is only taking for the first time, next time if i upload code with different SSID and PASS, it is not updated(The wifi discovered by phone is still have the same older name). I even tried this pr, but still the same.

Is it a related problem ?
Sketch

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>


String SSIDS = "NewSSID"; // If next time i change this and upload the code again, ssid displayed doesnt actually change. 
String PASSS = "NewPassword";


/* Just a little test message.  Go to http://192.168.4.1 in a web browser
   connected to this access point to see it.
*/


void setup() {
  delay(1000);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Configuring access point...");
  /* You can remove the password parameter if you want the AP to be open. */
  WiFi.softAP(SSIDS.c_str(), PASSS.c_str());

  IPAddress myIP = WiFi.softAPIP();
  Serial.print("AP IP address: ");
  Serial.println(myIP);
 
}

void loop() {
  server.handleClient();
}

This is misbehaving when the new password is different.
Example -
Next time keep

String SSIDS = "ArihnatNK"; 
String PASSS = "Generic";

In that case the ssid will not be updated,

Also, calling WiFi.softAP(SSIDS.c_str()); without password is leading to continous crash due to exception.

@arihantdaga not likely. If you are using Android, just restart the WiFi via toggle or Airplane mode, or just filter out by bssid if this is some app. Scan results are cached, it could be switched into a passive mode, etc. e.g.

Will probably display both at the same time.

@mcspr . I am sure, i can verify this is some bug, not problem with my mobile, I have tried with laptop and I have tried setting up different wifi names etc. I startee seeing it a while ago, today I verified multiple times.

I'll check the gist also.

Open an issue? This is not related to the PR here.
Note the example above also toggles wifi on -> off -> on, which is to showcase the simultaneous display

@mcspr Thank you. I got it, the actual problem was because i was setting a password that was less than 8 characters long.
Found this issue. xoseperez/espurna#1151
Thank you.
