The false sense of security is what WPA2 gives anyway. Coffee house has a password on their wifi? Great, then only someone with the password can impersonate the AP, which is only... everyone.
You can't tell everybody something and still use it as a secret.
What they should be doing is putting the public key of the AP on the wall as a QR code.
Or the real solution, which is for everything to be end-to-end encrypted regardless.

- QasimK 9y agoIf it’s inside a coffee shop or other physical locations the attempt is likely to be caught. Or, put the code inside a photo frame making it easier for staff to distinguish.
