Question

A parks department small office asks how WPA3-Personal differs from WPA2-Personal when both use a passphrase. Which contrast should the technician highlight?

Accepted Answer

WPA3-Personal uses SAE for passphrase-based auth, while WPA2-Personal uses PSK. — Same idea of a shared secret, different handshake. WPA3-Personal brings SAE to the party; WPA2-Personal is still classic PSK. Neither one magically becomes RADIUS Enterprise just because the label says “Personal.”

Answer

WPA3-Personal still uses the same PSK four-way handshake weaknesses as WPA2 with no protocol change.

Answer

WPA3-Personal requires a full RADIUS server, while WPA2-Personal never uses a passphrase.

Answer

WPA2-Personal encrypts with OWE, while WPA3-Personal only hides the SSID.
