I was able to set up a wifi hotspot using the following:

nmcli dev wifi hotspot ifname wlp8s0 ssid adam password "password"

But how do I encrypt the password and select the cipher that is used?

Looking at the file

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/hotspot.nmconnection

It is almost identical to the one corresponding to the wifi connection provided by my ISP, but when I connect to the hotspot with another computer, it says that it is unencrypted.

Also, I am unable to connect to the hot spot with any of my android devices.
