Good Day.

Your W-Fi password is not visible & is hidden until after you login to your Bell Home Hub 4000 modem. Once you login to your modern, all of the modem settings are visible & available to the person logging in.

If you wish to prevent access to your modem settings, which includes your Wi-Fi password, then change your modem Administrator password & do not share this password with anyone else. This can be completed by logging in your modem. Select > Modem preferences to change your Administrator password.

Your modem password is not visible at login unless of course you choose to unhide your password entry when logging in to your modem.

Take care.

@MCC Further to my previous reply, if you wish to secure your passwords even further, you can:

  1. Choose not to save your Administrator password in your browser password settings.
  2. Login to your Bell modem. Select > Modem preferences. Go to > Password recovery.  Select >By email or text message > Set to Off. Now Go to > On screen > Set to Off. Select > Save at the bottom of the page.

Please note: Keep in mind, that a factory reset is the only way to access your modem if you change & forget your passwords after turning Password recovery settings > Off.

Take care.

Hello 👋,  I have a question. I want to change the password so my teen won't have access to the internet. But when I do change the password, they can click the motum info button and it will tell them the new password. Is there a way to turn off the show password button? 

(They also use a VPN to get around the perma ban)
