WEBVTT 00:00.220 --> 00:06.780 In this election we're going to discuss a feature in Microsoft Tankel Wi-Fi sends in a post to Microsoft's 00:06.780 --> 00:09.290 TechNet Web site announcing a preview. 00:09.290 --> 00:14.940 Build one for free for to the anniversary edition of Windows 10. 00:14.940 --> 00:20.120 Microsoft said the cost of updating the Wi-Fi sends code which is what it's like. 00:20.120 --> 00:26.730 It was about Wi-Fi sense to keep the feature working coupled with its low usage and low demand no longer 00:26.730 --> 00:29.510 justifies the existence of wife. 00:29.520 --> 00:32.890 I sense a wife I sense is dead ish. 00:33.060 --> 00:40.940 They also wrote Why five cents if enabled will continue to get you connected to open wife or hot spots. 00:41.070 --> 00:43.220 It knows about through crowdsourcing. 00:43.320 --> 00:50.710 And if this is enabled it will automatically connect you to detected crowdsourced Wi-Fi networks acquiring 00:50.820 --> 00:55.860 network information and provide additional information to networks that require it. 00:56.010 --> 00:59.470 Well the additional information is isn't really clear at this stage. 00:59.550 --> 01:05.090 Additionally and this is the controversial part is it can be used to automatically share your wife find 01:05.100 --> 01:12.140 password with your contacts on Facebook Skype and outlook and a Microsoft account is used to do this 01:12.140 --> 01:12.850 sinking. 01:12.900 --> 01:15.120 This is how Microsoft describes it. 01:15.480 --> 01:22.560 When you share Wi-Fi network access with Facebook friends outlook dot com contacts or Skype contacts 01:22.800 --> 01:28.230 they'll be connected to the password protected Wi-Fi network that you choose to share and get internet 01:28.230 --> 01:29.070 access. 01:29.070 --> 01:36.000 When they're in range of the networks if they use wife I sense like wise you'll be connected to Wi-Fi 01:36.000 --> 01:40.430 networks that they share for internet access to remember. 01:40.440 --> 01:47.280 You don't get to see what Find out what passwords and you both get internet access only they won't have 01:47.280 --> 01:54.030 access to other computers devices or files stored on your home network and you won't have access to 01:54.030 --> 01:56.360 those things on that network. 01:56.580 --> 01:58.380 Well that's in theory. 01:58.380 --> 02:05.980 So what I sense is switched off by default but you can check to see what the settings are. 02:06.000 --> 02:11.710 And you probably are best because I have different versions sometimes have this enabled or disabled 02:11.720 --> 02:16.340 and it depends on whether you do a custom install or whether you've done an express install. 02:16.380 --> 02:21.930 So if you go to your start menu settings 02:25.830 --> 02:32.400 network and Internet and then you can see manage wharfies settings and what you need to do under why 02:32.510 --> 02:34.890 cents you need to disable everything. 02:36.690 --> 02:40.330 And make sure the Wi-Fi sense is not working. 02:40.530 --> 02:46.050 If you have enabled why five cents it will request permission to connect to Outlook. 02:46.060 --> 02:54.870 Skype Facebook as you can see here are the users on your friends list who also enable Wi-Fi sense will 02:54.880 --> 02:57.730 have their contact information shared with you as well. 02:57.730 --> 03:04.960 This is obviously a privacy and security concern but the security side of it isn't black and white because 03:05.260 --> 03:11.680 most people who share their Wi-Fi passwords manually anyway by writing them down or saying them verbally 03:12.160 --> 03:17.370 and that's giving away your password any way to your guests so this isn't secure. 03:17.540 --> 03:25.700 It sends the password isn't revealed to your guest but actually the best way to have guess if you want 03:25.720 --> 03:31.680 to get on your network is to isolate and create a guest network on a separate villans. 03:31.690 --> 03:37.630 Your guest never gets access to your network more than that whether you use and they don't know your 03:37.630 --> 03:38.650 password. 03:38.650 --> 03:40.660 And we'll discuss more on that later. 03:40.660 --> 03:46.510 Another scary prospect is Microsoft and in fact any other company that will start to do this sort of 03:46.510 --> 03:47.570 thing where they collect. 03:47.570 --> 03:48.970 Why my passwords. 03:49.030 --> 03:55.560 They really amass a huge database of Wi-Fi passwords of all the fine networks. 03:55.600 --> 03:58.660 That becomes a huge target for attack and compromise. 03:58.720 --> 04:04.110 And you also have to trust that these companies will secure those passwords and won't do anything untoward 04:04.120 --> 04:08.230 with them and that they have your best interests at all times. 04:08.230 --> 04:16.050 So I recommend keeping this turned off and using a guest network instead which we'll discuss later on.
