I'm using a windows 8 laptop. I connect to a wireless network, which requires a passkey. How do I force Win8 to ask for the passkey every time I want to connect, rather than storing it somewhere and re-using it? |

Untick the box where you ticked to connect to it. |

Unless I've missed something, when I next go to "connect", it will do it and use the passkey automatically. I don't want that to happen. I want it to ask for the passkey every time. |

Can you delete the connection and start again then this time round set it to not remember |

When you connect the first time, you enter your password and there's a box which says connect automatically (or words to that effect). Make sure you don't enter a check in that box. Then it should ask for your password every time. |

OK, I'll give that a go. But what if I have already done the connect automatically thing? How do I undo that? |

Right click on the wireless network on the bar on the right that comes up when you click on the network icon on the taskbar.
Then select forget wireless network. |

Click on the Wifi symbol in the Settings charm. Disconnect and then connect again but don't tick the box "Connect automatically" |
