Well at least my phones WIFI hotspot did. I had a fairly simple password on it.
Passssss123456
I had just noticed that my phone showed 3 connected devices. My PC, my rPI(which is used for a camera that points out my front window at my front doorstep), and a Huawei Mate.
I've never owed a Huawei device. I changed the password to a better one.
I find it odd that they guessed the password in the short timeframe that I had my hotspot on. Also, this was at my apartment complex where there really isn't a lot of people.
Could this have been an error?

maybe you had a repeater or something set up previously and it autoconnected
or maybe Passssss123456 is just a really common one

sudo apt-get install -y pwgen
pwgen -s 32 1
Problem solved. Also use a password manager or encryptpad at least for the love of cyber Jesus.
Forgot to mention, there's ROMs for modern smart phones that allow you to basically have a full suite of WiFi auditing tools on them.
PS
Your password was dogshit.

kind of a pain in the dick to keep typing random 32 char passphrases into mobile devices though
mine is CLAAAAMCHOOOOWDER because it used to make me laugh and I never bothered to change it

I have access to a lot I could give you if you keep it low-key, but now that I've publicly said it I probably shouldn't

it's happened before, they won't pay.
if you want to get paid you need to either hit small businesses and don't expect huge payouts or you have to go to the trouble of poisoning backups for a while beforehand

Frankly, i don't care about the money. I prefer to gain operational infrastructure.
