WiFi security basics

Why WiFi keys deserve the same care as production credentials.

Your WiFi password (technically the pre-shared key, or PSK) is the single piece of information that decides whether someone outside your office can quietly join your network. Unlike a website login, anyone within radio range can attempt to connect — they don't need to first find your front door. That's why WiFi keys deserve the same treatment as production credentials: long, random, stored in a vault, and rotated when people leave.

It's a shared secret

Every device on the network uses the same key, so one leaked sticky note compromises everyone.

Attackers capture, then crack offline

A 4-way handshake captured in seconds can be brute-forced for weeks on a GPU rig.

Strong defaults beat clever tricks

A 20-character random key beats a 'memorable' phrase with substitutions every time.
