One-Time Password (OTP) Functionality for Wi-Fi Hotspot Connections

[Amalshaheen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, when sharing a Wi-Fi hotspot, we have to provide a static password, which can be inconvenient when allowing temporary access to strangers or friends. Manually changing the password frequently is not practical.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose adding an OTP-based authentication system for connecting to the hotspot. When a user wants to join, the system should generate a one-time password (OTP) that expires after a single use or a short time (e.g., 5 minutes). This would enhance security and convenience.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Manually changing the password each time → This is tedious and not user-friendly.
• MAC address filtering → Requires additional configuration and is not practical for quick sharing or temporary sharing.
• QR Code-based access → While useful, it still shares a static key instead of a one-time password.

Additional context

Samsung has implemented a One-Time Password (OTP) feature for mobile hotspots in its One UI 6 update. This feature allows users to generate a unique, temporary password each time they enable their mobile hotspot, enhancing security and convenience.
