So you're talking about issuing passwords so that only people you have chosen to grant access can get it? If so, why did you need to ask for any advice, since that process would be identical
to what you did for your own access.
Because you seemed to be talking about allowing anonymous access to anyone within range.
Which is a completely different matter, and which makes you (and anyone else who does it) a bad neighbor, and a significant contributor to spam.
(For the record, I am an IT professional, and my job includes running several web and email servers. I review the access logs, and see daily attempts to compromise the servers, mostly by professional spammers. The record for an unpatched server being comporomised
and used to send spam is less than 15 seconds after being connected to the internet.)
