get the ssid and password valvues

hello everyone i just started looking into what iotappstory can do and i am inpressed. i want to implement this library into my current project using blynk. in my code i have

"Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);"

simple question but what do i put in there where the ssid and password fields are. hopfully u understand my question thanks!

here is the blynk code

  Change WiFi ssid, pass, and Blynk auth token to run :)
  Feel free to apply it to any other example. It's simple!

Hi @danhoo

I am not a Blynk user but Arduino IOT Cloud.  If I understand your question, I hope this helps!

You have an Auth token from sertting up your Blynk account?

then that goes in here:

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "YourAuthToken";

Your ESP32 board cannot connect directly to the Blynk through the Internet, it has to connect through your home WiFi router to the internet or via a 'hotspot' on your mobile phone.  So you need to use the WiFi credentials only known to you

// Your WiFi credentials.
// Set password to "" for open networks.
char ssid[] = "YourNetworkName";
char pass[] = "YourPassword";

The software willtake the 3 values you have entered and put them into the Blynk.begin call arguments at run time.  You don't change that line in your code.

 Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
