wifi passwords

Everyone on You Tube says they can find wifi all over the place.
But, how is that possible when everyone wants you to put in a password, and you don't know the password. How is wifi use possible without a password.

  • "Free wifi" signs are popping up in all kinds of businesses now, many of which make you wonder why. And those typically do not require a password.
  • In addition to all of that. I have cell phone service from AT&T. AT&T has thousands of WiFi access points worldwide. My phones will automatically connect to them when ever I am close enough. The passwords are built in and automatic. Verizon has the same deal I think...

    We have many WIFI hot spots all around here but very very few are open to the public without required passwords... I'd rather create my own secured WIFI HOT SPOT anyway... Then I don't have to worry about who is on the other end hehe...

  • You cant, and morally(if you care) you probably shouldn't. Many coffee shops, McDonalds, etc offer free wifi. Many cell phone plans now allow "hot spot" access via your own phone included in your monthly plan. That's all I use now when on the road.
