Wifi Password lengths

[Trucker7]

My WPA2 password is a string of 63 random upper and lower case letter and numbers. If someone stops by the house, I copy the password to a text file and put it in a thumb drive. They can copy and paste it afterwards.

I also have WPS disabled on my router.

Have fun entering that on a phone.

If a person has a "phone" that is useable for internet they can use their own connection.

They still have to get through my primary defense, a giant yard and Mollie my dog who is free to roam the property as she pleases.

and why would you be "on the phone" with someone trying to connect to your WiFi

I think it's safe to assume he meant entering it on a smart phone to get wifi access

At least with my Androids, I do it the same way I'd do it with a computer. Connect the phone to the PC via USB, transfer the text file with the password, open the file on the phone, copy and paste. It isn't much of a hassle taking into account that I only have to do this once, pretty much for the lifetime of the phone.
