•
configure a shared password that is requested every
time anyone in your home network accesses the
FRITZ!Box and FRITZ!NAS.

configure various FRITZ!Box users. You can configure a
password for each FRITZ!Box user and then specify
which FRITZ!NAS contents each user is allowed to ac-
cess.
FRITZ!NAS can be reached in the home network by entering
the shared FRITZ!Box password. From the Internet you can
reach FRITZ!NAS only by logging in with your individual user
name and password.
