Yes, you can configure the MikroTik Hotspot to allow access using alternative information to the traditional username and password combination, such as first name, last name, and phone number.

This can be achieved by customizing the Hotspot login page and possibly using an external server to manage authentication based on this data.

We explain how you can configure it:

Steps to configure a personalized login in MikroTik Hotspot

1. Modify the Hotspot login page:
   • Access your MikroTik router using WinBox or WebFig.
   • Navigate to IP > Hotspot and select the tab Hotspot Setup.
   • Find and modify the login pages within the Hotspot file folder (Files). You will need to edit the corresponding HTML and CSS files to include first name, last name, and phone number fields.
2. Implement validation logic:
   • You may need basic programming skills to modify the login page script to accept and process the new fields. This can involve languages ​​like JavaScript for client-side validation or using server-side scripts.
   • You may want to implement an external application server or use an existing user management system that can handle this data and validate it appropriately.
3. Integration with backend system:
   • Set up a backend system (for example, a database) to store and verify information entered by users. This can be done via API or directly through scripts on the server.
   • Make sure communication between the Hotspot and the backend server is secure, using protocols such as HTTPS.
4. Additional security settings:
   • Consider the security and privacy of data entered by users, especially when handling personal data such as names and phone numbers.
   • Implement appropriate security measures to protect this data, including encryption in transport and storage.
5. Testing and deployment:
   • Perform extensive testing to ensure that the system is working properly and is safe before putting it into operation.
   • Monitor Hotspot operation and adjust settings as necessary to optimize user experience and security.

Additional considerations

• Legal and privacy: Make sure you comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws in your region when collecting and storing personal information.
• Maintenance: Advanced customization may require regular maintenance and updates to ensure functionality and security.

Configuring a Hotspot in this way allows flexibility in how users access the network, but also introduces additional complexities that must be managed appropriately.
