+1 for following protocol? ๐คก
A person's day was wasted after they couldn't access a public service, which sounds bad, but I guess on the bright side at least a Rule was enforced against them.
All this for wifi access for a few minutes. Must enforce The Rule to the letter, can't lapse for a moment and make a decision as a human being.
For my Samsung 85" TV, entering the wifi password was a requirement - without wifi access, several weeks after installation, the TV stopped displaying video from any input. The only solution was to enter the wifi password, at which point the TV immediately returned to normal operation.
Just because it appears to be optional to connect the device to internet does not mean the basic functionality will work.

The window sill has plenty of space and is a cozy spot, directly above the baseboard heater in the space behind the couch. This is one of her favourite spots.
Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams performed a GREAT sold out show in Victoria at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre on Saturday September 9, 2023.
You missed the entire point, the reality of the situation is that nobody "was social engineering of ID theft" - a person wanted to use wifi for a few minutes.
It takes nothing to act like a human being and share a wifi password. Instead here we are with you celebrating an automaton for blindly following rules and having no flexibility, because at least this guy wasn't able to "steal his own identity".
"Sure someone's day was wasted, which could have been changed incredibly easily, but really what's most important is blind adherence to The Rules."
