Kasa Switch HS200 setup does not work with long wifi password

Model: HS200

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version: 1.02

I just bought this from Amazon and tried to set it up. It took me hours to connect to my wifi, it turned out that my wifi password (32 characters) was too long for the setup process to work. Setup works fine with a shorter password.

The strange part is, I had no issue setting up two other Kasa switches (HS200 and HS220) in 2020, with the same long wifi password. So this seems to be a regression.

Found a work around of manually enter SSID for iPhone App, but it does not work with Android app.
