These days, your computer remembers your WiFi passwords and automatically signs you in whenever you are in range. This can save a lot of time, but it can be annoying if you keep getting signed into the wrong WiFi network. However, there is an easy way for you to stop your Mac from signing into any WiFi network automatically. Here’s how to forget a WiFi network on a Mac:
If you do not see the WiFi button in the top-right corner of your screen, you can just click on the Apple logo found in the top-left corner of your screen and select System Preferences. Then click on Network in the pop-up window.
If you want your Mac to remember the password, but you don’t want to sign into that WiFi network automatically, you can also click the “Auto-Join” button next to the network’s name.
While it can be great to have your device sign into a network automatically, it doesn’t take long for your computer to build up a long list of networks. If you haven’t removed old networks in a while, you could have passwords, IP addresses, and other network information saved on your Mac. Since hackers might be able to access that information, it’s a good idea to clean up your saved networks every once in a while.
