Wireguard in docker, no way of password authentication? (lemmy.ml)

I am running wg-easy and there is a way to passport protect the GUI used for creating Wireguard connections. Is there a way to prohibit connection to be made if not a password is entered? I don’t want someone to be able to access my VPN if for example my phone would be stolen unlocked. I don’t mind if it is client side only

wg-easy has this option wwhen you run the docker:

-e PASSWORD=YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD

which set an admin password when deploying the container.

If you didn't put a password I guess you can add one in the admin settings

That's for logging into the web GUI IIRC, not for authorizing a connection from wg client to wg server.
