Security key for hotspot tethering

[Martin1]

Hi @Elle13880 and welcome to the Support Forum! 

I am a little bit unsure on what your query regards, but from what i can comprehend you are having a hard time finding the password for your hotspot, am I correct?

In order to find the password for the hospot in your phone, find and tap Settings > Network and internet > Hotspot & tethering > Portable hotspot settings > Configure hotspot > tick the box named "Show password". 

Please let me know if this helps.

Thank you for your quick response! 

As i mentioned, you can find the correct password for the hotspot by configuring the hotspot using the previously mentioned steps.

You can also change the password to one of your own choosing, as long as it is at least 8 characters long using international characters (such as A-Z and 1-9). Just make sure to tap "Save" before entering the password in the device that you want to connect to your hotspot.
