Hotspot type: Password of the day

You can view and change the password of the day for a hotspot.

Restriction

Only Administrative users configured in the hotspot settings can view and change the password of the day in the user portal. See Add a hotspot.

The Password field shows the current password. It changes automatically once daily, but you can also change it manually. The previous password immediately becomes invalid, and active sessions are terminated.

Change the password of the day

To change the password of the day, do as follows:

  1. Go to Hotspots.
  2. From the Hotspot list, select the hotspot for which you want to generate a password.
  3. Enter a password and click Generate.

    Note

    You can also use the automatically generated password that's shown.

  4. Select Send Mail to email the password to the specified email recipients.

    Note

    The password is sent to the email recipients configured in the hotspot settings. Send Mail isn't shown on this page if the administrator hasn't specified any email addresses. See Add a hotspot.

  5. Click Save to save the newly generated password. The password changes immediately.
