Most of the hotels I have used don't actually require authentication. They require a click through indemnification agreement. No username, no password, no room number, just a "click here to accept our terms and conditions". I would much prefer this be added to the check-in process. I already have to sign a contract with the hotel to check in, it should cover use of the WiFi as well. Then there is no need for a click through agreement.
Yes there is; if they have wireless then the radio waves don't discriminate between guest and non-guest and could be picked up by someone who didn't sign the check-in paperwork. ~Seth
