For the wifi ?

 

Passphrase is a term used to remind you what your wep wifi password is. So hopefully you don't have any wep only wifi devices due to security

I need to install some security software and it is asking for my passphrase. Presumablr I can find this out somehow. Tried using the passpord but this did not work.

Is it security software for a device already connected to the internet?

What software?

Sounds more like something related to the software as opposed to the broadband

Passphrase should just be your WiFi password

Typically installing software requires administrator level credentials on the device it's going on to.  That's nothing to do with a broadband or WiFi password.
