Password management (Surface Hub)
Article • 04/14/2023 • Applies to: Surface Hub, Surface Hub 2S
Every Microsoft Surface Hub device account requires a password to authenticate and
enable features on the device. For security reasons, you may want to change (or
"rotate") this password regularly. However, if the device account’s password changes,
the password that was previously stored on the Surface Hub will be invalid, and all
features that depend on the device account will be disabled. You will need to update the
device account’s password on the Surface Hub from the Settings app to re-enable these
features.
To simplify password management for your Surface Hub device accounts, there are two
options:
1. Turn off password expiration for the device account.
2. Allow the Surface Hub to automatically rotate the device account’s password.
Set the device account’s PasswordNeverExpires property to True. You should verify
whether this meets your organization’s security requirements.
The Surface Hub can automatically change a device account's password without
requiring you to manually update it. You can enable this feature in
Settings > Surface
Hub > Accounts . If you turn on Password Rotation, the Surface Hub will attempt to
change the password every 7 days during maintenance hours. Passwords do not change
during a meeting. If 7 days have passed since the last password rotation, but the Surface
Hub was off, it will attempt to change the password immediately when turned on or
every 10 minutes until successful.
The automatically generated passwords contain 15-32 characters including a
combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Note
that when the device account's password is changed, you will not be shown the new
password. If you need to sign in to the account, or to provide the password again (for
example, if you want to change the device account settings on the Surface Hub), then
