I wouldn't bother thinking about this in Europe already due to the free cross-border roaming. But for instance in Southeast Asia, it was pretty common that all the bars and whatnot had a WiFi that was granted to you with a mere password, although guesthouses' WiFi was to my memory linked to your room registration. And there were still a lot of WEPs and whatnot, and the cyber crime is booming there anyways so the requirement to disclose your details sounds like a security theater anyways.
