With an intuitive app layout, Free Wifi Password - Connect lets you
view all your Wi-Fi needs
all from a single location. However, be wary of its
potential security risks
by making all your Wi-Fi data easily accessible and visible. Other similar apps include
WiFi Password Dump
or
WiFi Password Remover
.
A useful tool for staying online
Usually, the user’s access to wireless networks—including
signal strength
, network names, and more importantly,
passwords
—usually depends on a number of factors, such as the type of mobile device and range from the source of the signal. However, Free Wifi Password - Connect fixes that by collecting and showing
information otherwise ignored by your device
. This means that you get to see more networks and choose from them.
Additionally, this app serves as your one-stop
management portal
for all your Wi-Fi networks, past and present. If you’ve successfully connected to a network, then the app stores its
network name
as well as its
password
. It keeps the passwords visible, without the use of
encryption or substituting the characters
with asterisks. Provided that the admins of the network don’t change passwords, you can easily reconnect.
However, the same features mean that it exposes these networks to
unauthorized access
, which could put users in trouble if they use regulated networks such as work-provided Wi-Fi access. Other people using the same device, or even passersby,
can see the network name and passwords
all in plain text from your screen. This
bypasses inherent security measures
regarding Wi-Fi, such as keeping passwords encrypted or outright inaccessible to the user.
All your networks in one place
If you regularly move between places and regularly change the wireless networks you use, then Free Wifi Password - Connect is a good app to have. It
notes every network
within range, even those that would normally be neglected or considered invalid by the device’s default systems. It makes it easy for users to also see important details. However,
exposing important information
could pose security risks.
