Apple Plans to Simplify Wi-Fi Login for Multiple Devices on Commercial Networks

Summary Apple is reportedly developing a feature to enable its devices to share Wi-Fi login details on commercial or captive networks, such as those found in hotels and trains. Since iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra, Apple devices have been able to share passwords between each other, but this has not extended to commercial or captive networks until now. The new feature aims to simplify the process of connecting multiple devices to these networks by allowing a user to sign in on one device and automatically grant access to their other devices.

While it's unclear when this feature will be available, it follows the existing non-captive Wi-Fi network system where a user can share login details with another user. The security implications and how this would work with establishments that have a two-device policy are not yet known.
