bad password on wifi connect, feedback missing or not shown long enough

[kipcringe]

issue

During initial setup the only problem I had was that I was entering the wrong wifi password (I was sure it was correct but it wasn't due to a misspelled word :) )
There seemed to be some feedback on my phone (android moto g8 plus), but it disappeared before I could read it, so I don't know if it was telling me something that would have pointed me to the fact that my password was wrong or not..

proposed solution

Not sure if it is the android wifi sign in process that stopped the display of the status, or your code. Ideally the status should stay up long enough to read..

Most relevant code line I could find...
https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-wifi-setup/blob/531a920b084bb36d63e59a976191111e4369cfd6/wifisetup/web/js/main.js#L57

Also (and or) it would be nice if the mycroft display could also have the same feedback on wifi connection status..

And by the way once I entered the correct password it of course worked as expected :)

Hey there, thanks for the feedback. This is definitely on the roadmap.

Currently the Wifi Connect application is completely isolated from the Mycroft instance, so we need to do a bit of work to build a communication bridge between the two.
