Questions about sending sensor data from ESP32 to computer

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

I'm very new to using the ESP32 in my electronics projects, but I'm confused why every tutorial I've seen for sending sensor data from an ESP32 to a computer(wirelessly) requires a wifi ssid and wifi password. I've seen tutorials where you can input in the wifi ssid and password instead of hard coding it, but I want to know if there is a method where I can send sensor data from the ESP32 to a computer wirelessly without having to deal with wifi ssids or passwords at all.

Thank you!

Does your PC have Bluetooth or BLE? The ESP32 has both.

A sesrch for "arduino esp32 bluetooth to pc" will yield more pages.

Bluetooth is much more simple to implement than BLE. You may find it worthwhile to add a bluetooth dongle (adaptor) to the PC if it does not have bluetooth on board.
