+When upgrading to 36.0, the setup wizard is served on port 6544 without any auth protection. In upstream [MythTV issue #1077](https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/issues/1077), I asked for a way to protect this sensitive management console in order to schedule recordings while away from home. As of Feb 2026, the [documentation](https://wiki.mythtv.org/wiki/Web_Application#API_and_Web_App_Authentication) states that upon this upgrade, it "comes with the admin user preinstalled". I couldn't login, but I could invoke _Settings -> Users -> New User_ to add the user `admin` with a password of my own choosing, and could then use admin to activate _Authentication Required for All IP Addresses_ user setting.
