I understand the desire for security, but how does one set the password the first time? Instead, how about about using a default passkey if the module password is not set? That keeps the web interface closed to the casual passerby, but allows initial connection to those with the physical module's accompanying documentation. We really ought to be making this easier to configure than the v2 module, where it one needed wrestle with SIM cards, accounts, and activation headaches in order use SMS messages. USB serial consoles are better, but they still aren't all that user friendly. We have a wonderful web interface; we should be able to use it out of the box. Greg Michael Balzer wrote:
The auto wifi ap mode does a fallback to "OVMS" with the module password if no AP network is configured. It does not start the AP mode if the password is empty. So in order to enable the AP mode for configuration, it's sufficient to set the module password and leave all auto configs to their defaults.
