How to edit Internet sharing/WiFi hotspot settings?

Hi Fairphone community!
I’ve been trying to use the internet sharing function of my FP but I’m having problems with the password. I can turn the internet sharing on, but then the hotspot is password protected and I can’t seem to find where I find and change the password. With my previous phone I needed to define the password myself, when setting up the hotspot. Under “Hotspot and tethering settings” I can only change from IPv4 to IPv4 and IPv6.

Maybe I’ve just missed something, so please let me know if anyone has an answer!

Just tap on the “Wi-Fi Hotspot” part (not the switch). :wink:

EDIT
A screenshot:

[Edit by @Chris_R: After clicking the WiFi Hotspot text, then choose “Set up Wi-Fi hotspot” and you will be able to change the SSID, security, password and maximum number of connections allowed]
