FRITZ!Box password

You can protect the user interface of the FRITZ!Box with a password. This protects the settings of your FRITZ!Box from unauthorized access.

Click on the "Apply" button to save your settings. If you leave the page without saving, all of your changes will be discarded.

When is the password for the user interface requested?

The password for the user interface is requested in the following situations:

  • when you want to open the user interface,
  • if you have not clicked in the user interface for longer than 10 minutes,
  • if you would like to change the password.

We strongly recommend setting up and using password protection for the user interface.
