The password for the hotspot can be configured in KCM. (In reply to Jan Grulich from comment #1) > The password for the hotspot can be configured in KCM. surely it can be. But hotspot without security shouldn't be the default Agreed, it should have a random password by default and display that password to the user when first created.

If possible, the password along with qr code. Its another feature in plasma i love Confirmed still not available in 5.20.3. Raised to VHI due to this being a potential security issue, exposing a user's current network to no others with no authentication. So any changes expected in nearby future? Just to add, if one edits the hotspot connection created by clicking on 'hotspot' button to have some security, then disabling and enabling hotspot connection by clicking on the 'hotspot' button again creates a connection with no security *** Bug 435136 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Also depends on Bug 449265 Good catch. |
