No More Wi-Fi Password-Sharing Option in Windows 10

May 12, 2016

Windows 10 currently has a feature called Wi-Fi Sense that allows you to share your Wi-Fi password with your contacts. The idea is to make it easy to share your wireless network with family, friends, visitors and others. You do have some controls over Wi-Fi Sense, but I doubt they're actually used. I never thought it was a good feature, especially from a security perspective. Apparently, some other people don't think it's a good idea. Microsoft will be dumping the Wi-Fi Sense feature with a future release. Microsoft decided to drop the feature because it isn't used enough to justify the cost of maintenance.
