Is Wi-Fi Direct secure by default on the HP Envy Photo 6200?

By default, the Wi-Fi Direct setting is in 'Automatic' mode without an administrator password, which allows anyone in wireless range to connect and access all printer functions. HP recommends changing the Wi-Fi Direct Connection Method from 'Automatic' to 'Manual' and establishing an administrator password for higher security. Security settings can be changed from the printer's embedded web server (EWS). (Page 2)
