Does that happen with 802.1x logins, too?

There is a reason why my family loves open source. My kid is learning
Linux and she doesn't even know it. Mommy has an Android...

I *knew* I didn't like W10. :-)

Windows 10 will share your Wi-Fi key with your friends' friends

In an attempt to address the security hole it has created, Microsoft
offers a kludge of a workaround: you must add _optout to the SSID (the
name of your network) to prevent it from working with Wi-Fi Sense. (So
if you want to opt out of Google Maps and Wi-Fi Sense at the same
time,
you must change your SSID of, say, myhouse to myhouse_optout_nomap.
Technology is great.) 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. Choosing to switch it off may make it a lot less useful, but
would make for a more secure IT environment.
