Wifi requires authentication to log in. What do you mean?

After Wifi connection, you need to log in to the webpage for authentication. Usually, the connected Wifi is public, such as shopping malls, restaurants, hotels and other public places. Users need to be authenticated by the authentication method preset by the merchant after connecting to Wifi, and they can use Wifi normally after success.

Wifi usually requires authentication to connect, which is commercial. The authentication method is basically verified by SMS, WeChat and QQ. So that the merchant can obtain the relevant information provided by the connector during authentication. Therefore, it is recommended not to conduct online shopping, log in to mobile banking and other operations when connecting this kind of Wifi, in case of being fished.

Fishing WiFi mainly appears in two occasions:

First of all, in places with their own WiFi, such as airports or cafes, users use authenticated, password-based and seemingly reliable WiFi to connect, while some hackers who want to fish set up a super-powerful WiFi hotspot to switch the public WiFi connected by users to fishing WiFi, and steal personal information such as user account names and passwords without the user's knowledge.

Another situation occurs in some open and free WiFi environments without login or password. "Everyone can surf the Internet at the same time, and there is a risk at this time.

Extended data:

While enjoying the convenience brought by the WiFi system, citizens should also beware of the danger of information leakage. Use public WiFi to surf the Internet. If you don't pay attention, it's easy to access the official WiFi.

For example, if the official WiFi name is "Traffic Public WiFi", the official WiFi name disguised as "Traffic Public WiFi- 1" may be mistakenly entered here, and the operation traces such as mobile phone number, account number, password, visited webpage, owner's QQ number, WeChat circle of friends, Taobao, Weibo account and so on are easy to be stolen, which is very unsafe.

In public places, you should try to use mobile data networks such as GPRS or 4G to surf the Internet. When you must use public WiFi, you should try to choose WiFi with authentication and password, and try not to log on to online banking, email, social account and other platforms involving personal privacy. Free WiFi without authentication is not unavailable, but it should be used more carefully. Try not to go to sensitive websites, do not conduct sensitive operations such as online payment and online banking transfer, and do not enter user names and passwords to prevent important information from being stolen by hackers.
