I made use of https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager to do the same. Code is here:
//#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial // Comment this out to disable prints and save space
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <WiFiManager.h> //https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager
#include <EEPROM.h>
// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "AUTHTOKEN";
void setup()
{
EEPROM.begin(512);
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFiManager wifiManager;
//wifiManager.resetSettings(); //Uncomment this to wipe WiFi settings from EEPROM on boot. Comment out and recompile/upload after 1 boot cycle.
wifiManager.autoConnect("NodeMCU");
//if you get here you have connected to the WiFi
Serial.println("connected...yeey :)");
pinMode(BUILTIN_LED, OUTPUT); // Initialize the BUILTIN_LED pin as an output, I like blinkies.
Blynk.begin(auth, WiFi.SSID().c_str(), WiFi.psk().c_str());
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run(); // Commented out for a short time.
}
