Re: Disable "show characters" in WIFI network properties?

Hello

That settings is not related to the AP or the controller, its related to
windows.

There are a number of solutions:

> Removing local admin privileges (regular users won't be able to see the
PSK/key.
> in gpedit.msc Config > Policies > Admin Templates > Network > Network
Connections - *Prohibit access*
> Disable the WZC service (using GPO) and use a more secure wireless
configuration utility (if possible) :)
