Android Users: Google Has ALL Your Wi-Fi Passwords

Guess what?

 

This forum has everyone's password too!

[Noir Angel]

I wonder if I will get a door knock if I change my wifi password to something like "f***theusgovernment" :D

Wow was that played-out Star Wars reference meant to be funny?

We knew that Google is not good for many years. I noticed many people who worshipped Google. I noticed one person who came over to my apartment in the past, and he wants to use internet, and I said sure, and use internet. He always visit google and search for his favorites like japanese cartoons, and asian cars.

 

Please, look, you speak English, please try to use it when posting.  And google are not good or bad, this isn't a fairy tale.  They are a company.  Don't be so ridiculous!

What's next? Sony has all your PS3 savegames?

[JustGeorge]

Ya know, I thought I saw Eric Schmidt sitting outside my home with a laptop. Probably highjacked my Wifi to surf porn.

[adrynalyne]

You would think the OP would have a valid complaint.

 

 

Like Chrome saving passwords to websites.  That one is a little irritating.  Pretty sure they disclose it though.

The risk here isn't that some Google employee might drive up to your curb and use your wifi connection.  The risk is that they have to store the actual password; a salted hash won't do, so the risk really becomes what happens when that data (everybody's passwords) is breached.

 

I don't use the backup feature.  Having to remember my password isn't such an inconvenience that I'd rather have it stored in some data miner's database.  If I couldn't remember my wifi password, I'd deserve to get locked out of it and have to reset and then reconfigure everything.

yes, you are right. Many Christian says that google is evil, but I was kinda confused about this, dude. I am trying to my best with my grammar as 2nd english, ok?

 

everyone, you know what?  I will just post a news about any stuff when I share with you, so I can read your comment. I am not good at english. Agree with me, everyone?

[dead.cell]

No **** sherlock.

Well, keep digging, Watson! :laugh:

 

But seriously, this isn't a big deal so long as the passwords are stored securely.

 

I know LastPass for instance holds passwords you use for everything you allow it too, but they are encrypted and locked away which is better than what browsers do by default.

That makes even less sense than your previous post, this has absolutely nothing to do with religion or Christians, it's about misinformed Microsoft fantards buying into FUD to justify their own confirmation bias. Try listening to people with reputable opinions and you will look a bit less misinformed.

[The Evil Overlord]

Well the general sentiment here from what I've read is very few, if anyone, actually cares, I don't neither.

Hell, it's simple to change an ssid and a password. :p

[TAZMINATOR]

Nothing to worry about it...

 

All you do is change your password every few months for your protection.

 

You can change SSID if you want to.

 

If you are that worry, turn the Google's cloud backup off.

[fintechfooty]

The Internet 10 years from now isn't going to be like this anymore. I'm already starting to miss it.

[AJerman]

Of course they do. And I don't have to type my wifi passwords every for every single place I go every time I reflash a ROM (which is fairly frequently). It's my gift to Google if they come to visit me. Free wifi.

[LUTZIFER]

Sweet, that's handy.

[_neutrino Veteran]

i would hope they have all my wifi passwords i purposefully told them to sync it lol.

[Azies]

Okay, so are they going to come out here and use it? I'd love to discuss world politics and the advancement of technology for the betterment of mankind with Erik Schmidt. Probably not? Okay then. :P

[metallithrax]

Try listening to people with reputable opinions and you will look a bit less misinformed.

If he can't bring religion into it, why are you bringing Microsoft into it?

 

It is a story about Android/Google, not Microsoft, Apple or any other company/establishment.

[NeoandGeo]

Ok, Google Wallet has my credit card numbers and CreditKarma has my social security number. Oh no!

[Som]

handiest thing in the world is when you set up your phone after a flash , sign in to google and all your settings are there,..... oh no google is coming to my house and they're gonna use my wifi and my ###### internet connection , i'm so afraid...

Same here, I just don't care.

[acido00]

Would be awesome if Google come to my home and wants wifi internet :), I for sure will share my small slow wifi range :)

How to stop Google from knowing every single Wi-Fi password you use on your Android phone

 

this is latest news.

[+Nik Louch Subscriber²]

 Many Christian says that google is evil

 

They also believe in a Jewish Zombie...

 

Please, stop.  It's an option when setting up your phone - a page talking about how to disable it is not "latest news"
