    Google Chrome overcomes Tenda routers' admin password
    « on: June 06, 2017, 08:09:18 AM »
    I have the configuration attached.
    There is admin password set for both routers.
    I made sure the password is not avlbl in Chrome's Settings/Passwords and Forms/Manage Passwords/Saved Passwords, but every time I browse to management page (from switch users to 192.168.0.1, from N301users to both ...1.1 as well as ...0.1) Chrome jumps to image 1 attached (from here you just click on that Advanced Settings and you're there), whereas Inet Explorer goes to image 2 attached, as it's supposed to. Any idea why this happens?

    What do you want to change and why?
    Is this a security concern?
    Have you considered getting rid of the Tenda routers?
    {Apparently Tenda routes are always easy to get into on the wired network, but the Wi-Fi is secure.}

    There ought to be a way to prevent Chrome from saying passwords.

    But it seems that you can not prevent Chrome from saving a password.

    The router may be saving cookies for the login.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    For what it is worth....
    From my own experience with the Tenda routers, you can never make them secure on the Ethernet side. There is a workaround, but with limitations.
    You can try a firmware update...

    Link also has user guide.
    Hope that is of some help. :)
