Restricting Access to pfsense webgui with MAC address

[OpenWifi]

Hello guys,new to pfsense.Wondering....how can i give access to the Webgui via my android phone and laptop only through their MAC address and not the Ip address because the Dynamic Ip will change at some point.Thank you

No you can't.

You could do a DHCP resetvation and only allow the IP address handed out to your laptop and phone.

Create a dedicated local management network and only allow devices connected to it access to your WebUI:

If you want to access the WebUI from the Internet(WAN) do it through a VPN connection:
