Problems when creating a hotspot with a password of less than 8 bits

[Sean shao]

When creating a hotspot with wifi blocks, you must ensure that the password is 8 or more digits.

Currently, if the password is less than 8 digits, the program will not report an error. But the actual hotspot name will be ESP_XXXXX and no password. When you try to connect to the hotspot , you won't be able to connect.

A hint should be given here, or a restriction that the hotspot password must be 8 digits or more.

Console info:

Serial error, opcode: 50 

[WiFiAP.cpp:147] softAP(): passphrase too short!

Thanks for reporting this. I will add some code to inform the user if they try to use fewer than eight characters in the passphrase.

Fixed in the latest pilot. It will display a message and refuse to create the hotspot if the password is not at least 8 characters.
