10 years ago What if we add an option to hide the settings button and make the settings available under a specific url? Like adding /settings behind the current url, so when you're box has http://192.168.5.1 as it's url, you can access the settings under http://192.168.5.1/settings. Maybe even hiding the button, but leaving that area (or another area) clickable so can still open the settings by clicking there.
(like in the very very old days when there was a bug that the stop button wasn't visible but was working when you clicked that area...: )
i like this one..! or by a shortcut, then you cannot access it by a tablet, that might be a disadvantage
[just thinking...for the settings, you use the settings from the wifibox isn't it, can you use the default security setup of the box...?!]

I would personally like to avoid passwords, because that could add a lot of extra complexity, like password recovery systems keeping track of whether people are logged in.
We could keep it very basic by always requesting the password when you want to open the settings (so we don't have to keep track of a login). And to get into the settings when you forget the password we could add the exception that we don't ask for the password when you're connected to the box by ethernet cable.
Can we come up with other solutions that add a basic level of security?
