Many people found that all 1's was easy to remember.

WEP predates the "passphrase" concept. Back then, there was a
hexadecimal key, which was impossible to remember unless you made up
something clever.
Passphrase did not come in until WPA days. Now there is WPA1, WPA2.

I used to tell people to use their 10 digit phone number. Most
people can’t handle the concept of choosing from 0123456789ABCDEF.
Did you ever play the game of who could come up with the longest word
that could be spelled in hex? Like C0C0A or EE1EE10 or CAFEBABE? I
wonder if that’s what Trump was trying to do with COVFEFE.

password = login credentials like GUI/CLI
passphrase = used to translate into WEP keys
network key/security key/pin = the code required for WPS

I don't use Unifi. But sometimes router manufacturers use the term
"passphrase" to mean the actual WPA security key, but sometimes
it's just a
human friendly passphrase that you then click on a generate
button to create
an actual, complex WPA key which you then save in the config.
Could this be
what's happening?
I wish the industry would settle on a single term instead of a
long list
including password, passphrase, network key, security key, etc.

Subject: [AFMUG] Unifi AP passphrase change
We have a Unifi AP in our home, which has been working very well.
I went to
change the passphrase on it today, and it seemed to take it.
However, all of
our devices are still connected using the old passphrase. We've
rebooted
both the WAP, and several of the devices, but nothing seems to
have changed?
Am I missing something here (well, duh)?
