<p>Registering the "not found" handler is a different way than ESP8266WebServer/WebServer. The <em>onNotFound</em> of ESP8266WebServer/WebServer does not work with AutoConnect.

Also, the placement of the EEPROM area of ESP32 is described in the [partition table](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/tools/partitions/default.csv). So in the default state, the credential storage area used by AutoConnect conflicts with data owned by the user sketch. It will be destroyed together saved data in EEPROM by user sketch and AutoConnect each other. But you can move the storage area to avoid this.
