Different manufacturers of Android smartphones position the hotspot option differently inside the settings. For instance, it can be found in the connection settings of Samsung cellphones.
This is how we change the password for Android cellphones’ personal hotspots. The user interface may differ from the screenshots above depending on the version of the Android operating system, the launcher, and the Android device manufacturer. However, the general approach stays the same.
Essentially, you must locate the hotspot section in your Android phone’s settings and then seek for a setting to update. We can also adjust the security type (WPA or WPA2) and the frequency band, among other things (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). If your Android phone does not have this capability built in, you can utilize third-party apps to create a hotspot.
How to Choose a secure password
A simple password is easy to guess, and a trial-and-error approach can lead to unauthorized access to your shared data connection. One can select a secure password for their hotspot by adhering to the below recommendations.
- Just use an alphanumeric password always.
- Avoid using easily guessed passwords such as your pet’s name, date of birth, house number, bike/car number, etc.
- Using special characters helps make the password slightly more difficult.
