How to stop Wi-Fi password sharing between my devices?

Question

Hi,

I have two computer that should only connect to the designated network without crossing. They were under my Microsoft account, and one of my other computer connected to the wrong/ unsafe Wi-Fi automatically just a while after startup (It connects to the one with better signal.)

It was convenient to most people who want to put Wi-Fi password once for all. But since I was doing some development, those PC are more vulnerable than other so I wan to isolate them.

Is there anyway to roll back to stop this sharing altogether, or there is a way to manage this Wi-Fi behavior?

Hi,

I am here to help you out.

For this issue please try to remove that network SSID( Name of that wifi ).

Go to network and sharing center from there select left side Manage wifi networks and click that particuler wifi name profile and remove from there.

Hi ,

When Wi-Fi Sense is fully enabled, it shares most of your Wi-Fi access passwords with all of your Outlook.com, Skype, and Facebook contacts. According to Microsoft, it says that Wi-Fi Sense only shares your passwords with direct friends/contacts, and not friends-of-friends. Wi-Fi Sense automatically connects you to nearby Wi-Fi networks, helping you save your cellular data for when you really need it and giving you more Internet connectivity options. Wi-Fi Sense can do a lot of things for you to get you connected to the Internet using Wi-Fi, so you don't have to do them on your own. These include:

• Automatically connecting you to crowd sourced open Wi-Fi networks it knows about.
• Accepting a Wi-Fi network's terms of use on your behalf and providing additional info for you to networks that require it.
• Letting you exchange password-protected Wi-Fi network access with your contacts to give and get Internet access without seeing each other's Wi-Fi network passwords.

If you don't want to use Wi-Fi Sense, you can disable the Wi-Fi sense in the settings. If you want to disable Wi-Fi Sense, hit the Start button and type "Wi-Fi", and then click "Change Wi-Fi settings". In the settings applet that pops up, click "Manage Wi-Fi settings". From there, you can see different settings, there you can turn Wi-Fi Sense off. You can disable password sharing with Facebook, Outlook, or Skype; and at the bottom there is a list of your known Wi-Fi networks, where you can opt in and out of password sharing.

I suggest you to refer the below article for more information about Windows 10.

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To achieve this purpose you can:

1.You can forget the Wi-Fi network you don't want to connect to which will prevent a automatic reconnection.

2.Turn off auto-connect in the Wi-Fi settings.

3.Login Windows OS by different microsoft accounts and isolate network settings and passwords.

 

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best regards，
