There is a "Free Airport Wifi" WAP saved on my phone from Mexico City since my iPhone 6. It is long deleted, but it has migrated through the years to my current iPhone 13.
Its residue is left on my phone in only this way: Whenever I connect to a new wifi point, after typing in the password, my phone will say it cannot connect to "Free Airport Wifi". I have to type the password in again (usually one someone just read to me) and connect again.

I have a similar phenomenon with an exchange account. It's connected to Outlook and everything is working. But sometimes my iPhone X randomly asks me for credentials, doesn't let me input credentials, and then goes away and everything keeps working.
Yeah, something like that happens to me a few times per year. Makes me wonder if I'm being pwned, but only after my pavlov response fills in my creds.
