    That would be a redundancy for the vast majority of modern phones. Most models have the ability to project a wireless hotspot with a fairly good radius.

        Hotspots are as secure as any WiFi network. That is to say, it depends on the encryption standard you use (WPA2/WPA3) and the password/shared key. If you use a strong 40-character password with WPA3, no one’s cracking that. With a password like that, even WPA2 is sufficient.

          True, but rarely have I seen people use a 40-character password for their wifi network. Especially not a phone hotspot.

          The attacker doesn’t need to be next to you to crack the password, they just need to collect enough packets and then crack it at home.
