Hi!

I have play 1s and a play 5 setup over 4 rooms. My 3 yr old keeps fiddling with my phone and starts playing music in one room or the other at odd hours.

Is it possible to password protect each room individually?

And by the way, iOS and Android both have the ability to place an app-specific password on any app you don't want the youngins to run:

I’ve been trying to find out if it is possible to password protect your Sonos. The request has been as early as 2005 apparently. You pay so much money for a speaker set only to find out that anybody who has access to your WiFi network basically can control your music. It shouldn’t be too hard for Sonos to set this as an option. Only because CEO finds passwords annoying shouldn’t have to be that all customer who request it should be denied something so basic.

It’s got nothing to do with how hard or easy adding extra layers of security is or isn’t. How long ago the request was first made is also irrelevant.

And for what it’s worth if the CEO is of the opinion that this feature is not on their priority then that is literally their prerogative.

Personally I’m ambivalent except in as much as I have no sympathy nor respect for those who give full and complete access to any Tom, Dick or Harry to their network and are more worried about the Birdie song being played than their personal documents being available.

It’s my prerogative as a customer to complain about the lack of functionality. I give my WiFi password only to those I trust. But majority is so illiterate that more by mistake than actually knowing what they are doing are possible to mess up you listening to music because there are multiple rooms playing different music. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s annoying.

This would be a great feature.

While I see the point of the ceo in 2011, we are in 2019 now, many things have changed.
Steve Jobs once said the original iPhone screen size was the ideal size to hold in your hand.
Now the Base iPhone (Xr) is twice as big.

I do NOT want my kids/guests to have the controls to my master bedroom. Unfortunately no way to configure this right now.

Feature request: Guest Mode. Ex: Add an admin login to the Sonos app to restrict desired settings/zones to non-guest users
