- Sharing is binary, it's all of the contacts or none. This is not what people really expect when thinking about a feature like this.
- The password really only has to be typed once. I don't have thousands of people coming over and even if I did, they put in the password the first time and it's saved locally. The benefit in skipping those few seconds in exchange for sharing with everyone else doesn't make sense.
- The FAQ also states that any public wifi spots that have been shared will be automatically connected to, including accepting the terms and even sharing some personal info like name, email, etc.
- The way it's worded is dangerous, mainstream users who don't know how this works will just go ahead and click this thinking its so much more convenient (and it is) but it doesnt properly reveal what's happening.
it also doesn't give the standard home user the ability to deny people the ability to share. This is a huge failure on Microsoft's part. Simply connecting to a wifi network should never give you the option to propogate that connection to unlimited number of other users automatically via digital methods unless you are also a network administrator. This is something that only the person with the router password should even be prompted to be able to do if they so choose. It's a violation of security to ask anyone that's connecting if they want to share the connection settings with all of their friends. Like you might as well just mark your network as public at this point if you're allowing anyone to connect with a windows 10 phone.
