Bug Description
I installed wifi-ap snap on Core 18 and immediately lost connection. How can I reconnect via ssh? I am hesitant to unplug for fear of corruption.
Please see 'snap --help' for app installation and updates.

*** Update *** It appears wifi-ap started automatically after install. I can see a wifi AP with SSID Ubuntu from my cell phone. However, I cannot connect to Ubuntu because a random password was automatically assigned.
Had to reinstall. Be aware of installing wifi-ap snap on Core (not Core Snap on desktop/server) because wifi-ap has an auto wizard that makes the snap connections, spins up the access-point with SSID: Ubuntu and a secure RANDOM password. On Core this is a deathwish because you immediately loose your SSH connection and then there is no way to log back in.
