Password Management

Each user must manage access to tens, if not hundreds of websites today. It can be confusing and hard to manage password due to the number of passwords that need to be managed.

Network segmentation

No matter how small a network is everyone, and every device on the network are exposed to each other. If you let other people access your Wi-Fi network once, they will always have access anytime they are in the area unless you change the Wi-Fi password. Once they have access, they can also access other devices on your network even when you are not at home. This is one reason you would want to divide your network into several partitions or security zones so you can place devices in separate security zones depending on the security requirement.
