Model: Deco XE75  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.14 build 2024101

I'd like to know why I cannot use different passwords for my admin account on my router vs my online account with TP Link.   

 

The prevents me from ensuring proper security and prevent hackers from discovering my password and hacking my network.

 

And you You! (TP Link) is as much a threat as any hacker.   No company should have access to these router passwords.

Have you tired this yet? From the deco app click on the three vertical lines at the top > View account > Change Password > enter in your current password then your new password

Hi, currently, Deco doesn't support setting a separate password for management only. Deco APP as well as the web admin UI, both used the same login password.

You could post the feedback here to see if other users share the same request: https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/231

It is also suggested to enable 2FA to enhance login security:

How to turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in Deco app

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
