Hotspot Password

I have an apple XR. My hotspot password is always changing on me without notice. Is this a security issue or a software issue? I can change it and it will immediately change again. Any help is apperciated. Thanks.

You can take a look at this support document, If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support however I do not see anything about auto changes to the Hotspot passcode. I very rarely use mine, so I couldn't be sure if the passcode has ever changed. Do you have a work account on this iPhone, or is it owned/managed by your work? I'm not sure if that can be managed by an MDM or profile, but it would make sense. Check Settings>Screen Time>Restrictions and see if you have any Restrictions turned on that might prevent you changing the hotspot password.
