Alpha Update no Password Buttons

[mperrin]

Just noticed today there is no password button anymore in the Phones Tab in Alpha version.
Now we have to go in to the Phone provisioning tab in the extension to get the web page password.
Is this intentional or just got missed out?
And it looks like the same from the Extensions Tab.

This is how 3cx works now for the phone gui password

Wow so it is less user friendly now for administration?
Why ???

I suppose in a way it makes a little sense. A screenshot of all phone passwords on the same page wouldnt be ideal for any potential hacker. At least there is the "Phone UI" option

If they are in your admin console then it is already too late to worry about where passwords are shown.
In the case of a screenshot they need to be inside your LAN to do anything and also have access to phones VLAN.
The PhonesUI only works if the PBX is on premise (or it did the last time i checked). All of ours are hosted and using SBC. Now if they could get it to work over SBC I'd be sold on this.

I think you just need to be logged in to the MGMT console on the same network as the phones for the PhoneUI button to work - Maybe someone from 3CX can explain the change.

You can see the password for provisioned phones in the Phones page. Click the little EYE icon next to the MAC Address of the phone.

That's fine for 1 at a time work. But if you are needing to login to a bunch of handsets that are behind SBC from a private cloud pbx you have just added a bucket load of time and clicks.
I sometimes need to do this to force firmware updates or force a phone to reprovision.
Please revert back to how it was. This is very counter productive.
What is the reasoning behind this?
