Changing network name and password on a Now Internet gateway

I just got Now Internet and got it up and running. I’d like to change the WiFi name and password that was assigned to the device. I do not see where to do this but I do not feel very secure knowing this information is on a sticker on the unit placed by an individual who could access it possibly.

Thank you @XfinityBenny If I chat with an agent, are they likely to know how I can change my network ID (SSID) and password? I would imagine it may not come up very often. On X1, I was able to do so, but I cannot find where to do it in the app or NOW website. I worry that the assigned ID and password are guessable and perhaps known by previous users. Thanks again.
