For whatever reason, RaspAP does not allow this. But you can manually edit your /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf file as follows, which works for me with a Rasp B+ and the standard Edimax adapter:

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=NotFreeWiFi
channel=1

Note that I had to use wlan0 as the host AP interface and wlan1 as the client. This was accomplished by renaming the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant file to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf. Additional changes are necessary in the RaspAP code to make this work fully. See #198 and #196 for more info.

Ideally this could be rewritten to allow specific configuration during installation, but it's working for me now :)

Just put something like "password = iloveyou" in the SSID name. Then people can still use it as a public access point without losing security.

The linked commit by @D9ping above is not complete yet, while it shows the option "None", it does not let you save because the form validation still requires a certain password length.
