I had the same problem with a pixel 3a.  Tried lots of things (including factory reset of the device, was not willing to factory reset the phone either (cc @Katecreatesit ) but i did get it to work without doing that.

The following worked for me:

using a non-pixel phone, login to app as admin and create a NEW network with
1) 5GHZ  (ONLY)
2) WPA2 (ONLY)
3) A password that does not use commas (“,”) .

I was then able to add THAT network to all devices and it was able to remember them normally.
(i then deleted original network)

I did not bother to go back and try to isolate which of the above 3 things really were required for this to work, but it did.

Just want to say this did the trick for me as well with my personal cell phone and I thank you.

I have a work cell phone which is a Samsung Galaxy, no problems reading my WIFI/auto connecting, the same with my personal laptop and work laptop.  My personal cell phone though which is great and gets the job done for me - T-Mobile REVVL 6 5G - rarely ever auto-connected to my T-Mobile 5G Home Internet original WIFI gateway and it would not save.  Had to enter the password every time.

It finally bugged me enough to try fixing it last night - downloaded the T-Mobile Internet app on my work phone, set up a new gateway/WIFI network through there, my REVVL connected to it and it saves and is remembered.  Sometimes my connection drops in general in a certain spot in my house, was able to confirm it works by stepping into the bad connection area and back into good signal strength and it automatically detected.  After setting all this up last night I also briefly drove out of my neighborhood and once I got back home minutes later, it auto-detected on the REVVL.

Now though, one of my SMART TVs won't pick up the new gateway LOL (all other devices picked up the new gateway/name).  Ah technology.  So, I still have both gateways/networks to back each other up and nothing seems to be in conflict.
