Summary:A method (and structure) to connect a mobile device to a local Wi-Fi network includes providing an input capability for a user of the mobile device to request to make a connection to a local Wi-Fi network. A processor on the mobile device retrieves, from a memory device of the mobile device, a listing of registered local Wi-Fi networks available at the user's current location. A request to connect to a selected one of the registered local Wi-Fi networks listed on the retrieved listing of registered local Wi-Fi networks is transmitted from the mobile device. The mobile device is connected to the selected registered local Wi-Fi network upon receipt of an indication by the selected registered local Wi-Fi network that the user has been validated and verified as trustable.
