I wondered if I was being too strict or weird by hesitating to share my home WiFi password. I operate a home law office and also conduct real estate transactions so I try to keep on top of cyber security, which of course can be quite the job today with all of the full time hackers out there. I feel like it’s bad enough having to share with my children’s school district issued laptops connected to the government school server!
I have had many people, kids and adults alike, ask me for my WiFi password when visiting my home. I always feel like I need to come up with an excuse. I try to explain that I need to ensure my network is secure to protect my clients. However, I’ve often been given a blank stare or made to feel weird. So I finally looked it up to see if I am being unreasonable, and now feel vindicated. Thought I’d share in case anyone has experienced a similar situation. So many new “rules” of life in this digital age!
