with Windows 10 each time you connect to a new network you have the option to share it with your contacts on Outlook skype and facebook so when friends and family members come over they won't have to manually enter in a password there's been a lot of fuss about this feature but your friends will actually know your exact password because it's encrypted and stored in the cloud either way you can choose to simply not share that information when connecting to a new network or you can disable the feature altogether this can be done by going to settings selecting network and internet followed by Wi-Fi scroll down to the bottom of the page and click manage Wi-Fi settings then uncheck the three options to share your network below that you can also unshare any networks that you previously shared up top you can turn off the ability to automatically connect to open hotspots and network shared by your contacts now turning off the sharing features only one small part of the equation if you want to make sure connected users can't share your network with their contacts you have to add underscore opt out to the end of your networks name this method is different depending on your wireless router but you can head over to how to cnet com to learn more you can also reach out to me on Twitter with any questions or comments you may have i'm dan graziano cnet thanks for watching
