This is one of those things we’ve somehow accepted as “just how guest Wi-Fi works.”

It doesn’t have to be.

When we built QuuPass, removing the captive portal was one of the first decisions we made.

Frictionless Wi-Fi is what it should be.

[QuuPass @quupass]

Captive portals still create friction in 2026.

Different devices, different behaviour. Login pages fail, guests get stuck, and front desk staff end up troubleshooting Wi-Fi.

Twenty years later, we’re still doing this.

CVE-2021-30858 is only patched in iOS 14 and macOS 11. If your devices are running anything older than those you are vulnerable. Running anything other than the latest version of macOS is no longer an option in security conscious environments.

Time to leave LastPass 10 years on the price and value are out of line. Bitwarden looks great! Imports went fine. Ready for some solid value for modern software. https://t.co/iiBjtEoU2O
