Clever place to keep the WiFi Router password?

[StickerPlace]

Just that really.

I have the sticker floating about threatening to get itself lost (it's also on the router itself but it's a pain to turn it around)

Anywhere obvious and really useful that I can stick it? Or something to stick it to?

I'm sure some Mumsnetters have some great ideas that I haven't thought of.

Change it to something memorable but unguessable. Ours is the first letters of the words of our favourite song,but you could use a famous poem or phrase

eg
2bon2btitq

(To be or not to be.....)

It’s really easy to change the password. Even I can do it.

Why would you bother?

We have it for guests.

You can create a guest network with guest password if you login to your router.

Create a 3 word phrase.

Getofftheinternetnowitslate

Or something family related.

Then write it down somewhere as above.

Convert it to qr code.

One neat idea is to create a small laminated card with the password and stick it on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door. This way, it's easily accessible for you when you need it, but it's not out in the open for anyone to see. Plus, laminating it will protect it from any potential spills or splashes in the kitchen.Another option is to use a password manager app on your smartphone or computer. These apps securely store all your passwords and can generate strong, unique ones for you. If you want to delve deeper into router settings and security, you can check out this website. It provides valuable information on configuring and optimizing your router for better performance and security.

Change the default router password for God’s sake.
To something over 10 characters long, preferably including a special character.
Throw the default password away.
Save the new password on your phone as a contact or send it to yourself via email.

On fridge. In your phone.

I have battery operated candles on the mantle piece. The sticker with the Wi-Fi password is now stuck to the bottom of one of them.
This means we know where it is at all times, but strangers would have no clue.

Stuck on the inside door of the cupboard under the stairs.

Why would you bother?

Because every teen / tween who ever comes to stay with thank you for it!!

[myyellowcar]

Weve got ours stuck to the TV remote and that’s handy!

[torquewench]

Isn't it on the bottom of your actual router?

[iklboo]

Why would you bother?

When you get new tech & it needs linking.

Take a photo on your phone and save in its own album so it's easy to find. Then put the sticker somewhere safe never to be found again

This ^

It's what I do.

[Pompom2367]

We selotape ours to the back of the tv

[StCharlotte]

There's one attached to the router and one held by a magnet on the microwave.

[TurquoiseDragon]

I keep a favourited photo on the phone, and the actual tab is hidden in a drawer.

[pastabest]

we have ours stuck to the TV remote so its there when the tv forgets it was ever connected to the internet (frequently)

[Applebrewsterstea]

Stuck to inside of the ingredients cupboard door where annoying relatives will never find it. Why visit and spend all the time on your phone. Might as well stay at home and WhatsApp me!

[Uncomplicated]

Back of a photo frame

Or

Back of tv remote

@ShirleyPhallus

Change the password to something that’s memorable and chuck it away

This

[Firesidefox]

Take a pic, save to Favourites, and also email yourself the photo with 'wifi password' as the subject so it's easy to find in future.

[ButWhereDidTheWindComeFrom]

Oh, I thought i=you meant to hide it from pre teens who misuse roblox. (That might just be me).

Stuck on the underside of a kettle would be my guess in that case. Otherwise just put it in your diary.
