Spotify plugin: not possible to install with changed user password about volumio-plugins HOT 8 OPEN

+1 on this issue.

Had to do the same to install the plugin. As a possible fic you can have the UI ask for the password on install

from volumio-plugins.

Same issue with Youtube plugin install

from volumio-plugins.

Aww snap, I'll look into that

from volumio-plugins.

Any news on this issue? Is there any place this "volumio" password is hardcoded?

Simple work around: change password back to "volumio"

from volumio-plugins.

Yes the password is hardcoded in the volumio2 pluginmanager and many other places :-/

One workaround would be disallow the "volumio" user to connect via SSH (sshd_config). Then you can keep your default password and be secure.

Disable SSH via WebUI is useless if you can enable it again without any form of authentication

from volumio-plugins.

You know that this is a great idea!!! We could create a different volumio user (say volumiod) to handle all the installations that require sudo privileges...

from volumio-plugins.

This issue is still present in the current version of Volumio (2.389). You should not expect users to leave the volumio user password at the default setting. Users may want to change the password for security reasons.
