Where to find your Starlink WiFi password

Your Starlink WiFi password is printed on a sticker attached to the bottom or back of your Starlink router. The sticker shows two pieces of information: the network name (SSID) and the password. The password is usually a string of letters and numbers, often starting with "STARLINK_" followed by random characters. If you can physically access your router, this sticker is the fastest way to find it.

If the sticker is worn, faded, or missing, you can retrieve your password through the Starlink app or web interface. Both methods require you to log into your Starlink account, which means you need the email address and password you used when you set up your service.

Key Takeaways

  • Your WiFi password is printed on a sticker on the bottom or back of your Starlink router.
  • You can also find your password in the Starlink app by opening it, tapping the WiFi icon, and selecting "WiFi Settings" or "Network Settings."
  • The web interface at starlink.com also shows your WiFi password when you log in with your account credentials.
  • If you forget your account password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the Starlink login page to reset it via email.
  • Changing your WiFi password is possible through the app or web interface, though the router sticker will no longer match after you do.

Using the Starlink app to view your password

Open the Starlink app on your phone or tablet and log in with the email and password associated with your account. Once you are logged in, look for a WiFi icon or "Network" section — the exact location varies depending on your app version, but it is usually near the top or in a menu labeled "Equipment" or "Settings."

Tap into the WiFi settings. You should see your network name (SSID) displayed, and below it or nearby, a field showing your password. Some versions of the app show the password as dots or asterisks for security; if so, tap the eye icon next to the password field to reveal it in plain text.

Finding your password through the web interface

Go to starlink.com and log in with your account email and password. Once logged in, navigate to the account or equipment section — this is often labeled "My Starlink" or "Account." Look for a subsection about WiFi, network settings, or router information.

Your WiFi network name and password should be displayed there. Like the app, the web interface may hide the password behind dots; look for an eye icon or "Show" button to reveal it. Write down the password exactly as it appears, including capital letters and numbers, since WiFi passwords are case-sensitive.

What to do if you cannot access your account

If you do not remember the email address or password for your Starlink account, go to starlink.com and click "Sign In." On the login page, select "Forgot Password" and enter the email address you think is associated with your account. Starlink will send a password reset link to that email address.

If you do not have access to the email address on file, contact Starlink customer support. You will need to verify your identity — usually by providing your service address, account number, or the phone number used to set up the account. Support can help you regain access to your account or retrieve your WiFi password directly.

Changing your WiFi password

You can change your WiFi password at any time through the Starlink app or web interface. In the app, go to WiFi Settings and look for an option to "Change Password" or "Edit Network." In the web interface, the same option is usually in the network or router settings section. Enter your new password — Starlink typically requires at least 8 characters — and confirm the change.

After you change your password, all devices currently connected to your WiFi will be disconnected. You will need to reconnect them using the new password. The sticker on your router will still show the old password, so keep a note of the new one somewhere you can find it later, or update the sticker by hand.

Why you might not see your password

Some Starlink routers, particularly older models or those set up before a certain date, may not display the password in the app or web interface. If you see only the network name and no password field, the sticker on the router is your only source. In this case, contact Starlink support and ask them to either display the password in your account or reset the router to factory settings so you can set a new password.

If your router is brand new and you have not yet set up WiFi, you may need to complete the initial setup process first. The Starlink app will guide you through this when you first log in, and you can choose your own password during setup rather than using the default one on the sticker.

Keeping your WiFi password find

Once you have your password, do not share it in text messages, emails, or photos. If you need to give it to someone, tell them in person or over a phone call. If you suspect someone has accessed your WiFi without permission — for example, if your internet speed has dropped suddenly or you see unfamiliar devices in the app — change your password when ready through the Starlink app or web interface.

The Starlink app shows you which devices are connected to your network. Open it regularly to check for devices you do not recognize. If you find any, change your password and then restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my WiFi password without the Starlink app?

Yes. Go to starlink.com, log in with your account credentials, navigate to WiFi or network settings, and change your password there. You can also access some router settings by typing your router's IP address directly into a web browser, though the Starlink app and website are the official ways to manage your account.

What if the password on the sticker does not work?

The sticker password may have been changed by a previous owner or user. Try the password shown in the Starlink app or web interface instead. If neither works, you can reset the router to factory settings by holding the reset button for 10 seconds, which will restore the default password on the sticker.

Is my WiFi password the same as my Starlink account password?

No. Your Starlink account password is what you use to log into starlink.com or the app. Your WiFi password is separate and is used only to connect devices to your internet. You can change one without affecting the other.

Can I see my password if I am not the account holder?

No. The Starlink app and web interface require you to log in with account credentials. If you are not the account holder, you will need to ask them for the password or have them log in and retrieve it for you. The sticker on the router is readable by anyone with physical access to it.
