Hello, I would like to know if changing the administrator password will disconnect the other accounts connected to Freebox Connect?

Hello.

Are you referring to the password for accessing your Free subscriber profile?

In that case, yes, the application relies on that code.
If you make any changes, you will need to update it in the application.

No, I'm talking about the code to connect to the box using Freebox Connect, which allows you to block the Wi-Fi, etc.

Yes, so you are indeed confusing two different things.

Hello,

you seem to be confusing the administrator password of the box with the WPA key of the Wi-Fi.


And there you go ....

But what a pain the line spacing is !!

Hello,

I think, since it's been a long time since I've done this, that the administrator password for Freebox Connect is the same as the one created for Freebox OS.

This password, which allows you to manage Wi-Fi and devices, is given once and for all when you set up Freebox Connect.

What is quite surprising is that, once Freebox Connect is installed and operational on the smartphone, there is no longer a need for a password to access the app. The smartphone's unlock password is the only security. This is a bit light and is based on the idea that a smartphone is a strictly personal item. This is not evident for many people.

Returning to the question asked, if the administrator password for the Freebox is modified, it has no effect on other users of the network.
The only thing that concerns them is the Wi-Fi access password that the administrator has given them, possibly with some restrictions.

There is no reason to change the administrator password unless it has been compromised and disclosed.


What is well understood is clearly stated,
And the words to express it come easily.
