From within the home network you can operate the FRITZ!Box

means that every user who accesses the interface of your
FRITZ!Box can view and change all information and settings.

In the “No login” mode, your private information is not suffi-
ciently protected from malicious programs or unwelcome ac-
tivities. Therefore we urgently advise against using the
FRITZ!Box without password protection!

For comprehensive information about logging in to the
FRITZ!Box with a password, see the sections

Using FRITZ!Box

and

Using a FRITZ!Box Password

Protect your FRITZ!Box by defining a password for the
FRITZ!Box user interface. To do this, go to the “System /
FRITZ!Box Users / Login to the Home Network” menu and se-
lect one of the password protection methods.
