Ну что я могу сказать, микрософт как обычно, стучит снизу:

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

In an attempt to address the security hole it has created, Microsoft offers a
kludge of a workaround: you must add _optout to the SSID (the name of your
network) to prevent it from working with Wi-Fi Sense. (So if you want to opt
out of Google Maps and Wi-Fi Sense at the same time, you must change your SSID
of, say, myhouse to myhouse_optout_nomap. Technology is great.) Microsoft
enables Windows 10's Wi-Fi Sense by default, and access to password-protected
networks are shared with contacts unless the user remembers to uncheck a box
when they first connect. Choosing to switch it off may make it a lot less
useful, but would make for a more secure IT environment.
Гугл с ондроедом, правда, тоже хернёй страдает с бекапами паролей и использованием SSID в геолокации. Но они хотя бы не раздают сохранённые у себя пароли всем подряд.
