General issue report

Hello, I have an old project that was complied using ESPIDF - d60ba848-dirty The project stored Station wifi credentials using esp_wifi_set_config api and later recovered it using esp_wifi_get_config.

I am now building a new project using the espidf v5 where I plan to do a OTA update and recover the wifi credentails. when I call esp_get_wifi_config, the ssid and password are empty

Question: 1 .Is this command no longer available ? 2. where is the location of function esp_wifi_get_config located in esp-idf ? 3. Is there any other way i can recover the ssid and password contents ?
