iPhone hotspot password changed automatically without my knowledge

When I share my iPhone hotspot to others, after a short period of time, my iPhone hotspot password is changed automatically and a password is assigned without my knowledge and phones using my iPhone hotspot is disconnected. When I change it back to the password I chosen, the hotspot is resumed normal for a while but the same problem happen again later.


Is there anyone experienced the same problem ? Thank you !
