Currently not. There might be a simplified version with WiFi in the future.

If you have a good approach to handling the password and wifi credential settings, let me know!

you can use wifi manager https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

@hemangjoshi37a yes, that would probably be a good approach. But I don't like the manual work if you need more than a few motors. But this could indeed be ok for smaller setups.

sorry i didnt get it ? what kind of manual work you don't like ? it can handle thousands of motors given we have good type of wifi router. it can handle thousands of connections flawlessly so it can handle small and large setups.

It depends on the use case. If you only need one or two motors, the web login might be ok. But if you have 10 or more motors, the process is less than ideal. LAN, MAC addresses and DHCP solve that very efficiently. The LAN approach is much more scalable than manual WiFi setups in a web interface. Also WiFi is not very reliable or robust, especially with many clients on one router. But I see that it might be useful if you only need a few motors. 20 to maybe 50 WiFi clients connected to one (normal) router seems realistic. But depends on hardware and use case. But as I said, most likely not feasible. Especially as you anyway need on cable for power to the motor. (POE might be the holy grail maybe)
