My hotspot is turned off. Other household iphone can turn my hotspot on and don't get asked for a password. Any way to change this?

I have iphone 6, my son has iphone 5c. My hotspot is turned off. My son gets option to tether to my hotspot, if he clicks on that then it remotely turns my hotspot on! Can other iphone users do the same? Worried about other people using all my data.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3

The password for the hotspot will remembered by the devices that have connected to your hotspot.

If you can't reset the network settings on those devices, which would also delete all network passwords on those, just chafe the hotspot password on your phone in Settings/Hotspot/Wi-Fi password.
