DUMB QUESTION, but somebody has to ask it!
Is there a simple way one can get the WiFi name & password into a sketch  without requiring an Arduino IDE to progam it?

Hello, I recommend trying the ESP WiFi Manager library (the development branch works for the ESP32/ESP8266) https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/tree/development

To avoid hardcoding your Wi-Fi network and password, you can follow this guide that I wrote: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/wifimanager-with-esp8266-autoconnect-custom-parameter-and-manage-your-ssid-and-password/
