Flex 100HP - wrong "password changed date" value

GiuseppeR

Hello everyone,

I went for a walk among the settings of the new Zyxel family POE firewall and I noticed that the firewall tells me that yesterday (2024-10-10) I changed my password:

I never changed it since first installation (2024-10-04).

At first installation date was correctly set?

In doubt… change it today, simply assure you that… date and time are correct before change the password.

If possibile, after a successful login, consider a reboot of the device.

Also consider verify that device is running latest firmware version.

Hi @GiuseppeR ,

In addition to mMontana's recommendation, you can also check the logs for any unusual login activity and change your password if needed.

Hello @Zyxel_Judy and @mMontana

the "Password Changed Date" value is influenced by the firmware update itself:

I could not change the password as suggested because it is shared with Zyxel engineering team, we are testing a new firmware with a firewall in production.

That "2024-10-25 19:59" is the timestamp of the latest update I installed from a local folder just some minutes ago.

I think that changing value should be considered a bug, because it is not really a "Password Changed Date". It could be misleading like it happened with this thread
