Why Change Your Safaricom Wi-Fi Password?
It is recommended that after at least three or so months you must change your password. First, for security reasons and second to ensure that any potential identity theft threats are kept off your personal Wi-Fi. This practice will also help keep your Wi-Fi working fast, lean and without any interruptions that could be caused by strangers trying to use your bandwidth.
A number of customers prefer to set their own preferred SSID and Wi-Fi password at home but those who are not tech savvy, opt to do it by calling customer care on 400 and requesting them to change their passwords and other credentials. If you prefer getting things done on your own rather than calling Safaricom home fiber agents, this article is for you.
