Makes life little easier for users but, how secure will it be?
My concern is that it is enabled by default, I prefer the opposite.
From the Article:
If you wander close to a wireless network, and your friend knows the password, and you both have Wi-Fi Sense, you can now log into that network
Wi-Fi Sense doesn’t reveal the plaintext . The password must be stored centrally by Microsoft, and is copied to a device for it to work.
The password is sent over an encrypted connection and stored in an encrypted file on a Microsoft server, and then sent over a secure connection to your contacts' phone
In theory, someone who wanted access to your company network could befriend an employee or two, and drive into the office car park to be in range, and then gain access to the corporate wireless network.
Microsoft enables Windows 10's Wi-Fi Sense by default, and access to password-protected networks are shared with contacts unless the user remembers to uncheck a box when they first connect.
