UH OH: Windows 10 will share your Wi-Fi key with your friends' friends

The feature doesn't have to be turned off. Every network that you want to share has to MANUALLY be turned on. While the "feature" is on by default, all Wi-Fi networks are NOT SHARED by default.

You would likely only turn on sharing if you were having a party at your house and didn't want to give the Wi-Fi password to your guests... and then you'd turn that network back to "not shared".

So... by default... this feature does nothing. Stop spreading the FUD!
