I got my Slate 7 last week and I'm really enjoying but I'm concerned about the unsecured display of Wi-Fi credentials as a QR code on the screen. I know I'm just being paranoid but I feel like it shouldn't be there since it's not locked behind a pin or anything. Is there a way to disable these screens or the QR code? Alternatively, does anyone know how I could modify the QR code to make it display inaccurate details? I have done some basic find/grep commands after ssh-ing in but haven't found anything useful yet. I figured I would make a post here in case someone already knows how to do something about it.
P.S. If anyone from GL-iNet sees this, are there any plans to address the information displayed on the screen in a future firmware update?
@bruce I also wonder about the security of being able to scan a QR code or press to see the SSID password on the screen. How about the ability to turn the screen or QR or password off like on the Mudi ? Then people have the option to display what they feel is "safe" based on their circumstances (or is that the answer you are describing here? )
The sensitive information displayed and accessible on the LCD screen must be configurable. I intend to use my Slate 7 (GL-BE3600) in hotels where I will have a PTZ Camera connected to monitor housekeeping and my sleep. I am paranoid and prefer to be so. I have no plans to change this. With that being said, I am extremely security-focused. The ability for someone to simply touch the screen and access my Wi-Fi and view my passwords is unacceptable. I purchased this device recently, and this feature needs to developed as a PRIORITY. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to return it.
I urge your development team to prioritize security in all their decisions. Given that this is a travel router, this should have been a fundamental aspect of your design choices. It is concerning that you all overlooked this.
