I'm at Unitymedia and have access to the free hotspots.

If you now, for example, On your own laptop set up a Wi-Fi hotspot and calls it that, could it be accessed by the access data of strangers who want to dial in incorrectly?

That's the well-known "Man in the middle" attack, and one of the reasons why the twofold factor authentication was introduced.

That works if you combine that with a phishing attack. That means you fake the login page of Unitymedia, which usually appears when you log in to the WLAN.

A page does not appear, you just enter the credentials and it's inside.

On the side of Unitymedia is that before the first connection to a hotspot to install the CA certificate from Unitymedia and that you should enable in the wireless settings MSCHAPV2. This has the purpose of preventing such attacks.
