Windows 10 automatically shares your Wi-Fi password, blowing a hole in enterprise security, experts warn

The Sky is Falling!! The Sky is Falling!!

I've read these articles and many others. Like ALL computers, cell phones, and other devices today, you need to be careful what you agree to.

First thing I did after installing Win 10 to my Laptop was to turn off the Wi-Fi sharing features. Also turned off Cortana. It would be nice if they were defaulted off and then asked you before turning on. Of course, it will be interesting to see if Microsoft tries to re-turn them back on in a future update.

My computers do NOT have Microsoft accounts. Well - I have a cheap 8" windows tablet I bought which I did set up with a Microsoft account. I bought it mainly to check out the MS App store and didn't want to pollute my other computers.

I'm trying to remember - I don't think I have ever shared the password to my home system with anyone - including my family members. In fact, they are not allowed to even touch my production computer. My granddaughter once wanted to check her Facebook page, and I made her use her cell phone.

When it comes to computers and cell phones, I am not a "sharer".
No Facebook, etc.

But it is getting harder to not accidently share - which is what they want you to do.
