By default a SIP password (SIP Password) is not generated automatically, you will need to create one via the Control Pages as follows:
{{HowToBox|Set a password for your VoIP Number|
#Click the Incoming Tab
#Enter in a password (or click the Generate button for the system to make one for you)
#Click Apply
}}

== A Note on passwords and SIP ==
When your phone registers to our servers, the password is '''not''' sent in clear text.
This is due to Digest Authentication being used between your phone and our servers - this is normal SIP operation.
When your phone uses Digest MD5 authentication, the phone and our server engage in a challenge-response exchange.
Our server sends a challenge (called a nonce), and the phone responds with a hash of its password combined with the challenge that our server sent.
It is this hash, not the plain text password, is sent over the network.
