   Per Andy Burns:

   Is there any connection between that practice and the change to the   
   Android API that no longer allows saving lists of SSIDs and PWs ?   
      
   On my 4.3 phone, I can save a list.   
      
   But on my 5.something tablet, I cannot.... the utility that generates   
   the list runs OK, but the PWs come out looking like GUIDs.
