Using FRITZ!Box Users
If you would like to access your FRITZ!Box from the Internet,
you have to configure password-protected login with
FRITZ!Box user accounts. Also use this login method if multi-
ple users with different rights are to have access to the
FRITZ!Box.
A FRITZ!Box user reaches the user interface of the FRITZ!Box
by entering her or his personal password. There she or he can
view and change those contents or settings for which she or
he has been granted access rights.
Configuring FRITZ!Box Users
You can set up as many as 18 user accounts in the FRITZ!Box.
Before you can select the “Login with FRITZ!Box user name
and password” method in the “System / FRITZ!Box Users /
Login to Home Network” menu, you have to set up a FRITZ!Box
user with the right to access the “FRITZ!Box Settings”.
Creating a FRITZ!Box User with the Right to Access Settings
1.
In the FRITZ!Box user interface, open the “System /
FRITZ!Box Users / User” menu.
2.
Click the “Add User” button.
3.
Enter a name, a valid e-mail address and a password for
the new user.
For more information on the characters you may use for
the password, see the Help in the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face.
4.
Specify whether or not the new FRITZ!Box user is allowed
to access from the Internet the FRITZ!Box contents for
which she or he has access rights.
Keep in mind that in order to access the FRITZ!Box from
the Internet, a corresponding service must also be en-
abled in the FRITZ!Box. For information on how to do
this, see the
Accessing the FRITZ!Box from the Internet
section.
