SSID and password for SoftAP is [**AutoConnectConfig::apid**](apiconfig.md#apid) and [**AutoConnectConfig::psk**](apiconfig.md#psk).
You can change SoftAP's SSID and password programmatically when the captive portal starts up. By using chip specific ID of esp8266/esp32 you can make SSID of SoftAP unique. SSID and password for SoftAP is [*AutoConnectConfig::apid*](apiconfig.md#apid) and [*AutoConnectConfig::psk*](apiconfig.md#psk).

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.
The [**boundaryOffset**](api.md#boundaryoffset) in [**AutoConnectConfig**](api.md#autoconnectconfig-api) specifies the start offset of the credentials storage area. The default value is 0.

An **esp8266ap** is default SSID name for SoftAP of captive portal and password is **12345678** for ESP8266. Similarly, **esp32ap** and **12345678** for ESP32. You can change both by setting [apid](apiconfig.md#apid) and [psk](apiconfig.md#psk).
```cpp hl_lines="5 6"
