  1. Options on Windows 10 Shares Your Wi-Fi Password With Contacts · · Score: 2

    So available options include:

    * Per the Wifi-sence FAQs, 802.1x networks will not be included. So we can enable WPA2-Enterprise security, for which a Radius auth server is required. Evidently easy enough to do with dd-wrt or the like but much more work to allow guests in.
    * MAC address filtering? Won't prevent the password hash from being stored on servers and passed around to contacts, but will prevent non-registered devices from authenticating. More work than previous option.
    * Use the _optout thing. Not a lot of work but sort of offensive.
    * Not give out password to any guests, because even if they're using their Android phone one day, they might pass on the password to their Windows-phone-using buddy.

    I guess option #1 it is. At least it lends some nerd cred? This is annoying.
