My friend commented in 2014 when visiting me that he enjoyed the fact that I used the same wifi password that I used in 2005, so he didn't have to change anything on his ancient laptop.

I am still using the same wifi password today.

Pro tip for your WiFi password. Just use three or four common words without any fancy symbols or spacing like in the XKCD comic. This will make it significantly easier to hand out your WiFi password and isn’t attached to anything personal.

Done this with mine for years. Along with making the SSID a name rather than a random string of characters. Someone wants to login? I can tell them with a single sentence and no need to look anything up.

Password: "Speak-Melon-Enter"

The word you're searching for is passphrase - it's actually considered more secure for passwords n general, too!

The password? Yeah, its four words all uppercase but one word all lower case.

All I see are asterisks!

You can also just print out a QR code with all the info and stick it to your fridge. No more arguing about capitalization or punctuation. Your guest wifi can now be anything you want and hardly anyone using it will notice what the password actually is. I like to sneak a joke in there to see if anyone's paying attention.

Another pro tip, if you're throwing a parties with larger groups of people, spin up a temporary guest wifi without any password. And put it on a separate VLAN, use device isolation, and throttle that traffic because you were doing that anyway for the guest wifi, right? Comcast/Xfinity is the going monopoly in my area so I usually just name it after their hotspots. Then you don't have to do anything special when randos and +1s want to connect. Most people with the same internet provider probably connected automatically. Of course, you'll need to remember to turn it off later.

My guest network is a captive portal and requires you scan a license.

The intent is to get them to leave.

With spaces or without?

After recently changing my infra:

Guest wifi + QR code/NFC tag.

Takes them 10 seconds, and they are in.

Those who can't work it out don't deserve internet.

And with period or without? (Since it's a sentence)
