serial timeout during setup wifi

[m-mcgowan]

With a core running 0.4.6 firmware in listening mode connected via USB

mbp:main mat1$ particle --version
1.8.4

? Should I scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks? Yes
? Select the Wi-Fi network with which you wish to connect your device: Altibox586485
? Should I try to auto-detect the wireless security type? Yes
! Something went wrong: Serial timed out

Same result if I choose "No" for auto-detecting the wireless security type.

When I connect to serial, the serial monitor shows "Password: "

I got the same issue. I tried resetting the core to factory defaults (details here -https://community.particle.io/t/spark-core-troubleshooting-guide-spark-team/696) and tried connecting through Terminal again and all worked.

Hope this helps...
