Oh, right, “passphrase” was a WEP thing. So people didn’t have to think up a 10 digit hexadecimal password.
I used to tell people to use their 10 digit phone number. Most people can’t handle the concept of choosing from 0123456789ABCDEF. Did you ever play the game of who could come up with the longest word that could be spelled in hex? Like C0C0A or EE1EE10 or CAFEBABE? I wonder if that’s what Trump was trying to do with COVFEFE.

But sometimes router manufacturers use the term "passphrase" to mean the actual WPA security key, but sometimes it's just a human friendly passphrase that you then click on a generate button to create an actual, complex WPA key which you then save in the config. Could this be what's happening? I wish the industry would settle on a single term instead of a long list including password, passphrase, network key, security key, etc. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> > On Behalf Of Bill Prince Sent: Friday, July 24, 2020 10:20 AM To: AFMUG <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Subject: [AFMUG] Unifi AP passphrase change We have a Unifi AP in our home, which has been working very well. I went to change the passphrase on it today, and it seemed to take it. However, all of our devices are still connected using the old passphrase. We've rebooted both the WAP, and several of the devices, but nothing seems to have changed?
