I love all the features on the sonos app and own like 10 speakers. But why doesen’t it provide a password function. It would litteraly solve all my problems. So fricking frustrating when people change the music.

    Please add a password to Sonos for all of the reasons above. Our Comcast router only allows one network (so guest network not possible) and our guests use our WiFi for internet and printing. This gives all of them access to Sonos. It is the only app we have that has this problem.  They can’t access other personal apps. Thanks!

      Lets say this happens. What happens when you forget your Sonos password? Do you have to factory reset your system? That would be super annoying. Or is there a backdoor that lets you reset the password? Well then anyone on your network can do that as well.

      Device passwords will be a support nightmare IMHO. Much easier to use your router’s existing security features (eg Guest networks, VLANs) to keep people out of your business. My network has a lot more valuable data on it than my Sonos system, and I do my best to keep everyone off of it.

        +1 for passwords on Sonos devices.

        Just received a One SL and am returning it because of the inability to lock out other users on my shared network.

        Acknowledge I should have looked into this before purchasing, but it seemed so fundamental that I didn’t check. There are a whole lot of people living in shared spaces sharing networks.

        That said, sound quality is really good for a single, standalone unit. Kudos for that if not for the ability to administer with a password!
