Security with MyFRITZ!
FRITZ!Box 7430 139
Multiple FRITZ!Boxes
You can register multiple FRITZ!Boxes with one MyFRITZ! ac-
count.
• Every FRITZ!Box is registered with the MyFRITZ! account
over its own user interface.
From the “Internet / MyFRITZ!” menu, select the setting
“Register the FRITZ!Box with an existing MyFRITZ! ac-
count”.
• When you log in to MyFRITZ!, all registered devices will
be displayed.
22.3 Security with MyFRITZ!
For the following MyFRITZ! activities the HTTPS security proto-
col is used:
• setting up a MyFRITZ! account with myfritz.net
• registration of the FRITZ!Box with the MyFRITZ! account
• accessing the MyFRITZ! page of your FRITZ!Box over
myfritz.net
• accessing the user interface of the FRITZ!Box over
myfritz.net
and over the MyFRITZ!App.
The FRITZ!Box generates its own HTTPS certificate. Because
this certificate does not come from a certification authority
preconfigured in common browsers, you have to confirm in
your web browser or in the MyFRITZ!App that the connection
should be established nevertheless. Firefox and Internet Ex-
plorer will remember your confirmation and refrain from
showing any further warnings.
The HTTP protocol is used to update the IP address with the
MyFRITZ! web service each day. The password is never trans-
mitted as clear text.
For further details on the HTTPS and HTTP protocols, see the
section Access from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS from
page 66.
