The password protection for the user interface is a security feature of
your FRITZ!Box. This section describes how to use a password for the
FRITZ!Box user interface and why you should use password protec-
tion. For more information on safe handling of the FRITZ!Box, see the
AVM web site at avm.de/en/Security

The FRITZ!Box Password and FRITZ!Box Users
The FRITZ!Box password protection has two levels.
• The basic method of logging in to the FRITZ!Box is to en-
ter the FRITZ!Box password.
– Define a password specific to this device, which will
be requested every time the user interface is opened.
– For instructions on setting up the FRITZ!Box pass-
word, see the section A Single FRITZ!Box Access for
All Users from page 43.
• For more specialized application areas you can also set
up FRITZ!Box users.
– For each user account you define which contents of
the FRITZ!Box the given user is allowed to access.
– To open the FRITZ!Box user interface, a FRITZ!Box us-
er uses the user-specific password.
– The FRITZ!Box user interface can be accessed from
the Internet only by users who have a user account.
– For instructions on setting up FRITZ!Box users, see
the section Individual Access for Each FRITZ!Box User
from page 44.
