Not sure if this is a hot take, but: I believe most WiFi passwords serve no meaningful purpose and are actively harmful to security.

You all know how this works. You're in a hotel, at a conference, in a restaurant, etc., you want to connect to the wifi. There's probably a sign somewhere with the password.

First of all, it's annoying that you have to figure out where to find it, ask around if anyone knows it.

@hanno well as far as i know if you activate the password the traffic is safely encrypted per session and you cannot decrypt other peoples session if you do not set a password all traffic is plain text …
