I have recently discovered that when I log in to My services in MyVerizon, my wireless SSID, encryption scheme, and password (with Hide/unhide option) are displayed. Verizon should not have this password (which I certainly did not knowingly share). While some customers who are less willing to assume full responsibility for their own Internet security might see this as a convenience, I see it as an invasion of my privacy and the kind of threat to my security that I was trying to mitigate by setting my own password. I have turned off the radio on my Verizon router until there is a way for me to prevent my wireless password from being shared with Verizon.
