Creating FRITZ!Box Users
Overview
You can set up as many as 18 user accounts in the FRITZ!Box.
A FRITZ!Box user opens 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.
It is up to you whether to use FRITZ!Box users instead of the
FRITZ!Box password. You need password-protected login with
the FRITZ!Box account in the following cases:
•
You would like to access your FRITZ!Box from the Inter-
net.
•
You would like to assign different rights to different
users.
Rules
When setting passwords, comply with the following rules:
•
Use a password rated as secure.
•
Select a password with at least twelve characters, which
includes capitals and lower-case letters as well as nu-
merals and special characters.
•
Be sure to keep your passwords in a safe place!
•
Use the “Forgot password” push service. When you have
forgotten a password, the FRITZ!Box sends you an ac-
cess link to the e-mail address you specified. You can as-
sign a new password using this link.
