How Do I Change My Mobile Hotspot Security?

Published in Mobile Hotspot Security 1 min read

You can change your mobile hotspot security by adjusting the password and encryption settings on your device. Here's a general outline:

1. Accessing Hotspot Settings

  • Android: Open Settings, then Network & internet, and select Hotspot & tethering.
  • iOS: Go to Settings, then Cellular, and tap on Personal Hotspot.

2. Changing the Password

  • Locate the password field: This is usually labeled as Password, Hotspot Password, or something similar.
  • Enter a new password: Choose a strong and unique password that's easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.
  • Confirm the password: Some devices may require you to re-enter the password for confirmation.

3. Modifying Security Settings

  • Encryption type: You'll usually find options like WPA2/WPA3, WPA2, or WEP. WPA2/WPA3 is the most secure option.
  • Network name (SSID): You can change the name of your hotspot to make it more identifiable.

4. Saving Changes

  • Save your changes: Click Save, Apply, or OK to confirm the new settings.

Tip: To ensure maximum security, consider using a strong password and enabling WPA2/WPA3 encryption.
