this protocol allows you to connect to a wifi network using an 8 digit pin number that usually is predefined in the router, the problem is that the pin of many routers from different companies is known or is known how to calculate it.
Wps Wifi Connect app uses several known pin generation algorithms and many default pins to try to connect and check if the network is vulnerable or not.
when scanning networks around us using this app, you will see networks with a red cross, these are "secure" networks, they have disabled the WPS protocol and default password is unknown.
those with a green tick are most likely vulnerable, have the WPS protocol enabled and the connection pin is known.
Try it in your network and if it is vulnerable, Please Remedy Disable wps and change the password for a strong and personalized one.

* Note:
wifi wps pro 2020 uses "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" permission to make the app able to search for available WiFi networks around you.
The reason you need to allow location permission is because of Android 6.0 or higher versions limitations and the new Google policy.
