I flashed raspberry pi os lite (32 bit) onto my RPI zero w and following this guide - https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/host-a-hotel-wifi-hotspot/ I ran the command sudo nmcli device wifi hotspot ssid myhotspot password 12345678 ifname wlan0 and it created the hotspot, whenever i connect to it on my laptop it keeps asking me for the password and it doesn't connect to it, on my phone it keeps disconnecting whenever i connect. I have tried this multiple times on 2 installations on the same zero W, is this a hardware problem or something? Or is it because i am running the lite version of Raspberry pi os

oh and also i am not connected to another wifi, like my pi isn't connected to a wifi with any external adapter or something, i just want to create a project where the pi broadcasts a wifi connecting to it can just let the users access local resources, i don't actually want internet/connecting to a wifi and sharing it's internet, i just want a wifi without it
