How to Set a WebUI Password on the EZPlug V2

Protecting your EZPlug V2's web interface with a password is a great way to secure your smart plug from unauthorized access. This guide will show you how to easily add a password using the built-in Tasmota firmware.

What You’ll Need

• Your EZPlug V2 powered on and connected to your Wi-Fi
• The IP address of your EZPlug V2

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open the Web Interface:
   Open a web browser on your phone or computer and go to the IP address of your EZPlug V2. You’ll see the Tasmota control panel.
2. Go to the Console:
   From the main screen, click the Console button. This opens a command-line interface where you can type in commands.
3. Set Your Password:
   In the console, type the following command and press Enter:
   WebPassword YourNewPasswordHere
   Replace YourNewPasswordHere with the password you want to use (up to 32 characters).
   
   For example:
   WebPassword mysecureplug123
4. Done!
   The web interface will now require you to log in using the default username admin and your new password.

Helpful Tips

• If you ever forget your password, you can reset it by using the command WebPassword 1 in the console to restore the default password (if one is set in the firmware), or WebPassword 0 to disable it entirely.
• Be sure to write down or save your password in a safe place.
