Motorola Edge 2022, Android version 13.
This morning I noticed that my phone was using the carrier's (T-Mobile) 5g connection instead of my home wifi. I opened Settings -> Network & internet -> Internet, where it listed my home network, with the note "- Security : strong - Saved / Check password and try again".
Hmm. The password hasn't changed, and all other devices are connected .. printer, Ring camera, Roku, and two laptops. Still I double check the password in my wifi app, then carefully enter it in the phone settings. And it just rejects it.
That is until just now, when I was doing it again to document the exact procedure for this posting . . .
I know, I know. You are thinking I was just fat-fingering the password. But I've just recently retired from a 40-year career as a database and systems admin, so know all about fat-fingering passwords, and being particularly careful, especially on second and third attempts. And this password is not particularly complex. And even if I were having a "senior moment" in re-entering it, that doesn't explain why it spontaneously dropped the connection in the first place, leaving behind the message about the password.
