Yealink Web Interface Password
For all Yealink devices in our Interop Certified Plus Autoprovisioning (Zero-Touch), it is already possible to set a password for the device's web interface via the company panel. Yealink has decided to show a warning in the latest firmware if the default admin password has not been changed. We agree with Yealink that using a default password is not secure, and therefore we have decided to follow this approach for security reasons. From now on, we will generate a new password for the web interface of all Yealink devices in our Interop Certified Plus Autoprovisioning.
In the following scenarios, we will generate a new admin password for the device's web interface:
When a device is already active on the platform and the default admin password has not yet been set in the Company panel via "Change Device Preferences";
When a device is already active on the platform and the password has been set via the device's web interface;
When a device is already active on the platform and "admin" has been entered as the password via "Change Device Preferences";
When a new device is added to Autoprovisioning, but no new admin password has been set via "Change Device Preferences".

Other Yealink devices
For all other devices in Autoprovisioning, it is not possible to change the admin password of the device via Autoprovisioning. For these devices, we have decided to disable the warning on the device when the default admin password has not been changed. Therefore, customers will not see a warning on the device that the default password has not yet been changed. However, we always recommend changing the default password for the web interface of a device.
FAQ
What if the password has already been set via "Change Device Preferences"?
If the password has already been changed in Autoprovisioning via "Change Device Preferences," no new password will be generated.
What if no password has been set via "Change Device Preferences"?
In this case, a new password for the device's web interface will automatically be generated after the update. This password can then be found in the Company panel under "Change Device Preferences".
What if the password was set via the device instead of Autoprovisioning?
If the device has been configured with our Interop Certified Plus Autoprovisioning and the password was set via the device's web interface, a new password will be generated. This password can then be found in the Company panel under "Change Device Preferences".
What if the password does not meet the platform's minimum password requirements?
The requirements for a secure password have changed. If the entered password does not meet these requirements, we will not overwrite the password. If any changes are made via "Change Device Preferences" (for example, changing a BLF button), a new password must be entered before the changes can be saved.
