but seriously it's way easier to just do mac filtering than typing in your wifi pw every time you factory reset or reinstall gentoo

kek
any kid can look at one packet and see your mac address and then spoof it.
>>
>>54928552
yes but how often do you think those kids leave they're basement?
>>
>>54928602
why take the risk when it takes 2 seconds to type in a key.

even wep would be more secure than this.

your trying to be clever and it isn't working

>>54928662
im not op and i agree its a fucking retarded idea which has literally zero upsides, leading me to believe that you are responding to a troll thread. i merely tried to save you from this pointless waste of time by pretending to be retarded.

Upsides? Devices lose wpa2 keys all the time, you reformat, reflash your phone etc. some devices don't do wpa2 and are regulated to wep poverty. Mac address filtering it's no problem, add those in your /etc/config/wireless

Yall the type of people who go nuts about GPG and security then leave ssh passwords on
>>
>>54928991
Using "password" as your passphrase is literally more secure than this you dipshit.
