Security with MyFRITZ!

13.3 Security with MyFRITZ!
For the following MyFRITZ! activities the HTTPS security proto-
col is used:
•
•
•
•
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
