pfSense default password & login

FreeBSD-based open-source firewall and router. Web UI ships with admin / pfsense — change on first login.

Use these credentials for the very first login to pfSense only. The full vendor documentation linked below explains how to rotate them and harden the install.

CE 2.7 and Plus 23.x use this default. The console "Reset webConfigurator password" option (option 3) reverts to it.

Change the default immediately

Anyone with internet access can try the published default on pfSense. Set a strong, unique password the moment you finish first-time setup, ideally before exposing the service to your LAN.
