RANT about Finding Wifi Password (and Windows in general)
Full Disclosure -- I'm not seeking an answer. I'm letting off RANT steam. Please do not tell me to contact MS with this because this would have been fixed a long time ago if Microsoft 'thought' this way.
My retired Dad has a PC. Isn't Windows savvy at all. My wife visited him and asked what his Wifi-Password is. He had no clue. Better yet -- he wasn't even sure he had Wifi. Yes.
So you can go to Google or YouTube and find a couple hundred 'easy' ways to find out what his Wifi Password is. On his PC, of course. I was about to email him the simplest solutions and I decided not to. Because the best two WERE NOT simple for someone like my Dad.
It occurs to me that I should be able to say --
1. Dad. Bottom left of keyboard. See that funny key that looks like a flag or window? Hit it.
2. Now type, "What is my Wifi password?"
3. If it asks for your account password, provide it.
4. Write down your password somewhere. Or click the button that says, "Save Password to desktop sticky note."
Now of course there are good odds he doesn't know his account password, but if he did -- wasn't that easy? All other ways require that you have to click through about six things. Windows with all it's needless clicking.
Why oh why hasn't Microsoft created a team that ONLY reduces steps? That's all the team would do. Each time a member found an unnecessary step they get $5000. The system would simply FLY if all these stooooooopid extra steps were erased.
Rant over.
