Periodically you may want/need to change the password for your WiFi SSID.

Change SSID Password

The SSID's password must be changed in (2) places:

In the wpa_passphrase= directive in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

In the psk directive in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

sudo systemctl restart hostapd.service

sudo systemctl restart wpa_supplicant.service
