Apple has introduced plenty of privacy settings, but the reality is that these tools can only get you so far if your basic security practices are not in place. One of the basics of online security is having a strong password, which should cover everything from your online accounts to your network connections, including personal hotspots.
Many people are still using commonly hacked passwords, which could allow unauthorized connections to your personal hotspot when you’re on the go. This could potentially compromise the security of your iPhone and other devices in the network. If you’re wondering how to change your existing iPhone hotspot password to something more secure, here’s how.
