If someone tells me their wifi password is still the default password, I automatically think less of them

This is why I change mine to something difficult to comprehend yet still legible.
Something like:
"FOURWORDSALLLOWERCASE", one word, all uppercase.
My man here is four parallel universes ahead of the hackers
AI will never crack that one
My trick is to change it to something that I immediately forget then if I need to modify any settings I can do a factory reset to get back in. Works every time
I SAID IT'S FOURWORDSALLLOWERCASE BUT THEY'RE CAPITALIZED DUMBASS!
Ooh I mixed it up with the other one which is "My_name_in_camel_casE"

as a satilite software engineer. your just an asshole. smart and better protected, but thinking less of people due to something so silly makes you asshole.
*You're
Love this exchange
Sounds like SOMEone is still using the default wi-fi password.
you would be wrong
It's one of those things that makes life for you and anyone using your wifi way easier and all it takes is 30s and a Google search if you aren't the most tech literate. It's like not putting your cart away at the grocery store, it's not a big thing but it's annoying and impolite.
We live in a world where people get to Facebook by Googling Facebook. You expect way too much of people.
You can leave the password blank. Though that does mean anyone driving by your house might have their phone or whatever automatically connect to it. A few devices also don't seem to like blank passwords (I think the Wii refused to connect that way).
A simple password is fine. Keeps completely random people out, and devices will connect OK. Edge-based security is flawed, anyway.
Since manufacturers are getting more pushed into getting rid of default passwords and including random generated ones this is thankfully getting less and less of an issue.

My Wi-Fi password has been "on the box" for years for specifically this joke
The password is ~~on the back of the router~~ a complaint about delivery of the wrong grade of copper
Came here for jokes about Ea-Nasir.

yall need to learn how to read...
Jokes on them. WPA2 length limit is 63 characters. It might let you put in one longer than that, but it doesn't use the extra characters.
Maybe....
Shit thats just fourier series
Laughs with symbolab
Didn't know wingdings has those characters
And make it a QR code. Sheesh.
So convenient for my steam deck!
I have a randomly generated password for my wifi (mostly historical reasons), but I hang QR codes around for it. Unfortunately, not enough devices support that sort of thing.
"UsethisQRcodeforthedefaultpassword" My new password, thx.
I hope you had their permission before putting their password out there where anyone could read it.
I have a friend in Iceland who has spent several years teaching himself to read cuneiform for fun.
Also, people from Iceland are fucking weird.
Thankfully I know people who read cuneiform and can tell me what the Unicode to enter is
See itβs not hard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_(Unicode_block)?wprov=sfti1
I can find where the password is, it's just the default password handwritten like the title text.
Cuneiform! Oldest writing system known, I love it

Is this loss?
Is the right guy there farting? And top left twerking?
