Let's say there are 2 Wi-Fi networks run by 2 different people and they both have different passwords:

Wifi network 1

ssid: Example

Password: 9238

wifi network 2

ssid: Example

Password: 3234

If 2 networks have the same SSID, it shows the strongest connection in available networks right? Let's say I connect to Wi-Fi network 1 whilst it is the strongest and I then move closer to Wi-Fi network 2 however still in range of network 1. Does it try to connect to Wi-Fi network 2 even though the password is different?

It will attempt to connect to the one with the stronger SSID but will fail and go back to the one it can connect to. We had this issue at work before we centrally managed our Wireless APs and forgot to update the password for our guest network.
