Goolge has access to WiFi passwords stored in Android mobile devices

Google might have access to WiFi passwords of customers stored in Android mobile devices. Android OS has a built-in feature for backup mobile data including WiFi passwords. The data is encrypted and sent to Google data servers, it is accessible only when the user has an authenticated connection to Google. Google will continue to have a copy of the password until every Android device that has ever connected to the network turns off the backing up of settings/data. The list of Wi-Fi networks and passwords stored on a device is likely to extend far beyond a users home.”]
