I hope I’m not steering this thread off course, but I have to contrast this with my experience asking for the wifi key at a bar on the Frances in Spain. Despite my developing Spanish, I simply could not understand the barman’s reply, and I asked him to write it down. To his credit, and my intense embarrassment he did comply. He wrote; 1234567More like the code to a nuclear launch…!
Yes I know .. I am french .. it is ridiculous and makes you insane !!!Something off-beat.
June last year in France - I was often plagued by Wifi pastwords like this. In this instance think I admitted defeat! A sharp contrast to Spain where I found most passwords user-friendly.
This was a place I stayed on the Camino Littoral on the SW coast.

I encountered hopeless pass words like this in a few places in Spain. Often, servers would have memorized these crazy combinations of numbers and letters and would take my phone in hand and key the password in for me.Something off-beat.

Could the reason for this is that many of the Gites in France are the the owner's private home and they use the same wifi signal? I have no idea but maybe.Something off-beat.

I I loved this one in Foncebadón (zoom to above the bar). The fun part for me is going back at 18 month intervals and seeing how many places I automatically connect with previous passwords.Something off-beat.

Oh man! You destroyed my France/Spain theory. But I still win: 26 to 20Pamplona Wi-Fi
This is hexadecimal code. It is possible that these are random characters but I would be extremely cautious of this character stream. I would never enter these characters into my own devices.Something off-beat.

Each of the 16 characters 0-9A-F represents one of the patterns that can be made of 4 bits 0000-1111. These 4 bits are sometimes called a nibble (2 nibbles making up a byte). The 28 characters of that passcode thus encode a pattern of 112 bits kept in storage in 14 bytes (where each byte is composed of 8 bits).This is hexadecimal code. It is possible that these are random characters but I would be extremely cautious of this character stream. I would never enter these characters into my own devices.
Sorry, @Doughnut NZ , but I don't follow. Can you please explain in simple language for computer dummies why not?This is hexadecimal code.

As far as I understand, these are automatically-generated passwords that the computer system produces. The owner can choose to change them to an easier one, IF said owner finds out how to do so and wants to bother.Sorry, @Doughnut NZ , but I don't follow. Can you please explain in simple language for computer dummies why not?
They are the random passwords that come with the wifi routers, and most can be changed by the owner of the router.As far as I understand, these are automatically-generated passwords that the computer system produces.
All computers talk in binary code and in the beginning, programmers had to load information (data and programs) into the first computers using banks of switches. Information that came out was read from banks of lights. Note that switches can be on and off and the same with lights and so binary code (zero or one) related directly to on and off.Sorry, @Doughnut NZ , but I don't follow. Can you please explain in simple language for computer dummies why not?
Oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I get it.Bad operators (i.e. hackers) can use hexadecimal numbers and buffer overload vulnerabilities to do bad things to other people's computer devices.
decimal digits 0 through 9 and A through F
Yes, you are correct. Case does usually matter.Wow, Doughnut NZ, thanks - now I know what some of the jargon means that I have never understood. And...
Oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I get it.
So the question immediately arises as to how to tell the difference between hex and just long crazy passwords.
It's this, right? Any PW with these digits and characters only - and I assume the characters are all in upper case and case-sensitive?:
