iMac acquiring neighbours' wifi passwords
Hello all.
A few weeks ago when my iMac could not connect to my local printer via wifi, but it could successfully connect to the internet, I discovered that my computer was logged onto my neighbour's wifi network. I could see his password stored in Keychain Access. This has just happened again, but with a different neighbour's network.
What seems to be happening is that my daughter is visiting her friends in these houses, and they are sharing their wifi passwords with her and her iPhone. Then, the password is being shared either directly to my iMac, or via my own iPhone and then to my iMac. I know how to wirelessly share passwords between these devices deliberately, but I am mystified as to how it is happening unbidden. Shouldn't this feature require a request and an approval? I will remove the networks from my Keychain and from my phone's trusted networks, but I would like to prevent this from happening again - and I would like to know that other people aren't getting my wifi password the same way.
