What is the WPA WPA2-PSK password?
WPA Key or Security Key: This is the password to connect your wireless network. It’s also called a Wi-Fi Security Key, a WEP Key, or a WPA/WPA2 Passphrase. This is another name for the password on your modem or router.
Is it possible to hack WPA2-PSK WiFi?
As a replacement, most wireless access points now use Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with a pre-shared key for wireless security, known as WPA2-PSK. WPA2 uses a stronger encryption algorithm, AES, that’s very difficult to crack—but not impossible. If we can grab the password at that time, we can then attempt to crack it.
Which is better WPA or WPA2-PSK?
WPA2-PSK is the strongest. WPA2-PSK gets higher speed because it is usually implemented through hardware, while WPA-PSK is usually implemented through software. WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key.
What is 4-way handshake in Wi-Fi?
The 4-way handshake is the process of exchanging 4 messages between an access point (authenticator) and the client device (supplicant) to generate some encryption keys which can be used to encrypt actual data sent over Wireless medium.
How do I change my virgin Wi-Fi to WPA2?

Which WIFI security is fastest?
WPA2
WPA2 is the fastest of the encryption protocols, while WEP is the slowest.
Is WPA2-PSK safe?
WPA2-PSK is secure but shares a password to all the users connected to the network, leading to snoop on the network by the attacker. WPA2-PSK is also found in airports, public hotspots, or universities as it is easy to implement and requires only one password.
