Then your "wifi" experiences clearly differ *greatly* from mine. Even the brain-dead sudo operating system asks me on first connect or offers on setting up a new connection wether to "auto" connect and/or save the password defaulting usually to saving when "auto" is selected. My windoz repair station is remote to my router and I *never* save connection info (password) when attaching other peoples devices to my network and I *never* setup "guest" connections.
I have also seen that auto connect option (sadly missing from Android) where it can automatically connect or require manual connect¹.
My android experience also differes tremendously from yours as I can auto-access mountpoints w/o re-entering passwords although some such as hotels do require re-auth.
Either way, the password is remembered from the first time the connection is made. It is not necessary to enter the password every time.
1. In fact, I use that manual connect here for my guest WiFi access. I want my devices to automatically connect to my main SSID, but not the guest one. This results in the situation where, if I want to use the guest SSID, I have to manually select it. I do not have to enter in the guest password every time.
