one-click internet access
Was not able to find a thread discussing this.
Some time recently I apparently had this box checked when I logged my phone into a Marriott network. Unfortunately, this was at a room rented under my wife's account. So, now my phone is 'registered' for this, but associated with my wife's account. Not sure how this is going to affect things when I am registered under my account. Anyone know how to unregister a device from one-click?
Also, please feel free to share your experiences with one-click.

Hopefully at your next stay in your own name, there will be some sort of "I'm not Mrs. Michilander" button you can click. Then you'd re-do whatever you did the first time you enabled one-click Internet access.
I have not been to a hotel with this yet. Seems like I always have to put my name and room number in. If this is what it sounds like - Marriott and my devices remembering each other if I allow that to happen - then I think I will like it.

Wouldn't this sort of function use cookies? Try clearing your cookies for whatever internet browser you typically use.

If your wife is <whatever MR level is required for Premium HSIA, I forget if that's Gold or Plat>, then don't sweat it.
FWIW, one-click is great. I've got a small travel router I take with me that I have all my devices connect to instead, so the MAC address of that router is registered and my access to the other devices is automatic now.

Yeah, I thought about this, but I was looking for a way to unregister because wiping out cookies can affect a bunch of other websites. Will probably try that as a last ditch effort if I do run into a problem in the future.

I hate to say it, but perhaps you need to be the guinea pig for this ... "Each one, teach one!" (... or "Pioneers get the arrows", maybe? )

I have seen it at a few properties in the Philadelphia Metro area. Very convenient. I hope they roll out to all properties.

It worked initially for me, but slowly stopped working on all of my devices. Every time I get an error like "You're signed up for one click access but this device is not associated with a Marriott account" and it tells me to log in. I've tried logging in afterwards, but that just returns a permission denied error page. I've also unchecked the one click access box, but still end up with the same problem. Whacking some cookies is probably the way to go, but the cookie isn't assigned to "marriott.com" and I never remember the domain of the sign on page.
It also does not work across properties, so needs to be set up for each property.
Nice idea, but seems to have some issues for now.

Marriott should provide an option to deregister devices. Some people sell their devices or have them lost/stolen, and I'm not crazy that if these things happened to me, that someone could perform Internet activity at a Marriott on a device/connection that would be tied to my name.
(Marriott should also push their hotels to start switching to Hotspot 2.0/Passpoint so the logins are automatic as part of the connection process & all connections to access point are individually WPA2 Enterprise encrypted instead of being in the clear, but progress takes time...)

When properties have wired internet it's really nice as it's more secure (encrypted between device and router, no eavesdropping by other wireless radios - of course, without VPN hotel/internet provider can still see what you're doing) and the performance is usually way better than the wifi routers in the hall.
Unfortunately, while the hotels I stayed at more often in 2014/2015 had wired ethernet in the rooms, 2016/2017 was an off year. With everyone having wifi enabled devices a lot of newer properties (built 2010 onwards) don't put internet in the rooms, and older properties (early 2000s or older) tended to just add them in the halls, not rooms. The sweet spot is hotels constructed in mid-to-late 2000s, but even then I've stayed at many hotels where there's a wired ethernet plug in the room but it's no longer active (looking at you, Delta Toronto East).
It's still light/small enough where I pack it in my bag every time, just in case the hotel still has wired internet and it's still active.
