### {% linkable_title Password protecting the web interface %}
First, you'll want to add a password for the Home Assistant web interface. Use your favorite text editor to open `configuration.yaml` and edit the `http` section:
```yaml
http:
api_password: YOUR_PASSWORD
```
<p class='note warning'>
If you decide to expose your Home Assistant instance to the internet and forget to set a password, your installation could be accessed by everybody.
</p>
See the [HTTP component documentation](/components/http/) for more options, such as the use of HTTPS encryption.
