Wi-Fi Wrongly Displaying "Incorrect password"

Hi All.

Bit of a weird one, this.

My phone and an S22 Ultra which are both connected to the same WiFi network, and have both worked for over a year now, are beginning to say "Incorrect password" whenever I connect to the network.

Simply, this is surely because of a mistyped password? Well, it cannot be, as the password has not changed since I put it in, and since it has worked for a year, this has to be the nearest "cover up" message for a more major issue.

No other devices on the WiFi have this problem. There are three other Samsung devices (Note3, A5, S20 FE) and all have no problems. Not a problem with the WiFi itself.

Done the basic things - restarted the phone, removed all known WiFi networks, turned off intelligent features etc etc.

Issue still occurs.

At all costs possible, I would like to avoid performing a factory reset. It's a complicated process and will use up a weekend, which may lead to no fix.

Any advice?

Many thanks!

Honestly I think it may be a hardware issue that Samsung was most likely aware of but never admitted to. Since I got a a56 5g (was on a54) I haven't had the issue. If Samsung admitted there was a problem they'd have to fix it. But they never did.

Well I'll keep their secret if they want but they better tell me how to work around it!

I managed to fix the issue on my A73
I did a reset on my phone settings (I know it's a schlep, because you need to setup your phone settings again) + I deleted/ forget my 5G connection to my wi-fi router and the problem is solved. It's been 2 weeks now and never did I got the message again saying "INCORRECT PASSWORD"
