Is there any difference in setting up a WPA pass phrase vs a WEP 10 digit hexadecimal password?

Question

Is the WPA pass phrase 26 digits or less Still hexadecimial? Could you give me an example of what one might look like?

Answer 1

In WPA-PSK there is 2 components, the passphrase or Shared Secret, and the preshared key.

WEP was confusing because of the various types of keys vendors used - HEX, ASCII, or passphrases. WPA-PSK is much easier and uses a passphrase (also called a shared secret) that must be entered in both the wireless access point/router and the WPA clients.

The WPA preshared key should be a random sequence of either keyboard characters (upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation) at least 20 characters long or hexadecimal digits (numbers 0-9 and letters A-F).

Example Hex: 2F3C8D9A2D7B

PS-
You shouldnt ever need to know your Preshared Key but this is fun too. --> http://centricle.com/tools/ascii-hex/
