What is a WiFi password?

A WiFi password (or network security key) is a credential that protects your wireless network from unauthorized access. It authenticates devices trying to connect to your router, ensuring only authorized users can access your internet connection and network resources. Strong WiFi passwords are essential for preventing bandwidth theft, protecting personal data, and maintaining network security.
