This happens every time I use android to connect to a WiFi network. Google stores my info in clear text to them.

Thanks for the warning, I had no idea. Note to self: always give temporary guest passwords to Android users.

They already have all passwords... They are conveniently backed up on android devices. They have the cleartext.
(as do apple btw.)
