Protect your home network by updating your Wi-Fi password using the Smart Home Manager app or web interface.
Why Update Your Smart Home Manager Password?
Regularly changing your Wi-Fi password helps:
- Prevent unauthorized access
- Mitigate security risks from old devices
- Improve overall network hygiene
This is essential for maintaining a secure smart home environment with many connected devices.
🔐 Step 1: Open Smart Home Manager App or Website
Launch the app on your phone or go to myhomenetwork.att.com. Log in using your AT&T User ID and password.
🛠️ Step 2: Navigate to Wi‑Fi Settings
Tap the Network tab in the app or click “Wi‑Fi settings” on the website. You’ll see your current network name (SSID) and password.
⚙️ Step 3: Change Wi‑Fi Password
- Select “Edit Wi‑Fi settings” or “Change password.”
- Enter a new strong password (at least 12 characters, a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols).
- Tap Save or Apply.
According to AT&T help documentation, updating the password remotely forces all devices to reconnect with the new password. This resets unwanted or unauthorized devices.([att.com](https://www.att.com/support/article/u-verse-high-speed-internet/KM1207739/))
🖥️ Step 4: Reconnect All Devices
After changing the password, reconnect smart thermostats, speakers, cameras, and phones with the new Wi‑Fi credentials. Keep a list to track reconnected devices.
🧩 Step 5: Optional—Change Router Admin Password
For added security, change the router’s admin login (the default is often “admin”). This prevents unauthorized users from accessing advanced settings. You can find this option under “Advanced Settings” in the app.
✅ Pro Tips for Strong Wi-Fi Passwords
- Use a long password with mixed characters.
- Avoid common words or personal info.
- Use a password manager—check our Strong Password & 2FA Guide.
- Enable two-factor authentication on your AT&T account for extra protection.
💡 What If You Forget the New Password?
Use the “Forgot Password” link in the app or website to reset your login. If issues persist, plant a new password using your router’s admin web portal at AT&T Admin Password Change.
