OsuLogin

The sign-up screen for Passpoint Wi-Fi networks that set up your account over the air. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.

What it does

OsuLogin opens the online sign-up page for Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0) Wi-Fi networks, which some carriers, airports and venues use so phones can join securely and automatically. When you pick such a network for the first time, it shows the provider's sign-up page and installs the credentials the network sends back. It is part of the Wi-Fi Mainline module and runs only during that sign-up.

If you disable it

You cannot sign up for Passpoint networks that need online registration; networks you already joined keep working.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.hotspot2.osulogin

adb shell pm enable com.android.hotspot2.osulogin

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.hotspot2.osulogin

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.android.hotspot2.osulogin

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Shows the network provider's sign-up page; anything you enter goes to that provider.
