For those looking to do the same thing, here are the function you need to access the SSID and password before the connection is made:

ESP8266

String getStoredSSID(){
  struct station_config conf;
  wifi_station_get_config(&conf);
  return (char *) conf.ssid;
}

ESP32

String getStoredSSID(){
  wifi_config_t cachedConfig; 
  esp_err_t configResult = esp_wifi_get_config( (wifi_interface_t)ESP_IF_WIFI_STA, &cachedConfig );
      
  if( configResult == ESP_OK ){
    return (char *) cachedConfig.ap.ssid;
  }
}

With both of these, you can get the saved password by replacing 'ssid' with 'password'.

esp32 cannot obtain ssid until you init wifi.

also already in wm

    // check if the module has a saved ap to connect to
    bool          getWiFiIsSaved();

    // helper to get saved password, if persistent get stored, else get current if connected    
    String        getWiFiPass(bool persistent = true);

    // helper to get saved ssid, if persistent get stored, else get current if connected
    String        getWiFiSSID(bool persistent = true);

Also this is already doable in esp

 WiFi.setScanMethod(WIFI_ALL_CHANNEL_SCAN); // wifi_scan_method_t scanMethod
 WiFi.setSortMethod(WIFI_CONNECT_AP_BY_SIGNAL); // wifi_sort_method_t sortMethod - WIFI_CONNECT_AP_BY_SIGNAL,WIFI_CONNECT_AP_BY_SECURITY
