Add option to change hotspot password #546
Comments
Sounds great, per @nzola's request.
Note that some people really do run IIAB on refurb'd / typically older laptops with internal WiFi hotspots, as explained here: https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#Can_I_create_a_Wi-Fi_hotspot_using_an_old_laptop%3F (So the functionality should really work identically there, just like with Raspberry Pi, generally with the laptop OS being Ubuntu or Mint or Debian.) |

yes. took 2 min 40s on my rpi 4 to go from unsecure enabled to secure enabled. |

Should now be implemented by @tim-moody's: @nzola let us know how this works for you? |
