Clone an encrypted AP

[HowBoutNo_]

I stopped using Pineapple nano a while back, and until then i managed to get myself with it pretty well, but:

My question is if it is somehow possible to clone an encrypted AP knowing the password/encryption key beforehand, because:

A: Most clients won't autoconnect to anAP that differs on encryption/password to the one that they have saved

B: I don't need to crack the password in any way, and the onlye posts I found end up talking about how to brute force a password from pineapple/linux, such as:

and other related such as https://forums.hak5.org/topic/39098-using-pineapple-to-spoof-wpa2-encrpted-aps/

C: I know it has to match up in SSID, Encryption and password., but my head can't work up how to enter those parameters on the Pineapple wifi (if it is even possible)
