Some hotels don’t even use a password. Guy sitting in the parking lot can get access.

Everyone is pretty savvy about not doing personal financial stuff but a simple trip trade can cause havoc to your life. I switch to cellular on my company iPad when doing anything that requires a password. Our single company PW will allow you to change your direct deposit bank account. Same password to bid. Same password to get a release. A single point of failure gets it all.

The real privacy gurus will hook their own router up to the hotel Ethernet. But you’re getting into tin foil hat zone....
