In some cases the Nokia WiFi mobile app will have an option to create a Nokia WiFi account (this is dependent on your internet provider's configurations). A Nokia WiFi account gives you the ability to use the app to manage you network when outside of your home (not connected to your LAN - with a remote connection).
You can create an account during the set up process, through the notification icon or after in settings.
Account creation during set up
During set up in some cases you will be asked to create an account:
- In the Create account screen, enter your name in the Full Name field and tap Next.
- In the What’s your email screen, enter a valid email address in the Email Address field and tap Next.
- In the Create a password screen, enter a password.
- The password must be 8 to 24 characters in length and include at least one special character (except for %) and at least one number. The first character cannot be a special character. The same character cannot occur consecutively 8 times.
- Tap Next. A verification email is sent to your email address.
- Follow the steps sent in the verification email.
- Go back to the mobile app and see that the account has been successfully created.
