When changing WiFi password, the password appears in plaintext in the browser address bar

Open puterboy opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I just noticed that after pressing save when changing the WiFi password, the SSID and password appear in plaintext in the browser address bar (and presumably go into your browser history too). This seems like a security issue. May also apply to MQTT and Gateway passwords but I didn't check.

I imagine data is being sent with an HTTP GET rather than POST.
