Mysterious Wi-Fi Password Change: Possible Causes and Solutions
This morning, as I was enjoying some music through my phone, I noticed something peculiar. After waking up, I found that my device had disconnected from the Wi-Fi network, despite the signal appearing strong. When I attempted to reconnect by entering the password, my phone informed me that the password was incorrect—even though I was confident that it was correct.
Interestingly, a family member who has access to the router credentials is not particularly tech-savvy, so I doubt they inadvertently changed the settings. Initially, my computer remained connected without issues, but soon it too faced the same disconnect and password problem.
This has left me pondering whether my Wi-Fi connection might have been compromised. Is it possible for a hacker to alter my network settings without my knowledge? While I plan to reset the router later today, I’m seeking advice and insights into this unusual situation.
If you’ve ever faced a similar dilemma or have expertise in network security, your guidance would be greatly appreciated! What could be the cause of this sudden password issue, and what preventative measures can I take to safeguard my network in the future? Let’s discuss!
