unknown,

Take a deep breath and look for the text that follows “password:” Self defeat is sell fufilling! Think of it as ASCII wheres Wally.

R2DPru,

Do you mean Waldo?

Pretty sure they say wally in England/Australia.

That or I’m an idiot, that could be it too

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

Gork,

This is why I change mine to something difficult to comprehend yet still legible.

Something like:

“FOURWORDSALLLOWERCASE”, one word, all uppercase.

lemmyman,

AI will never crack that one

Raiderkev,

Ooh I mixed it up with the other one which is “My_name_in_camel_casE”

ArmoredThirteen,

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

ShortN0te,

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.

devbo,

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.

saigot,

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.

frezik,

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.

R2DPru,

Sounds like SOMEone is still using the default wi-fi password.

devbo,

you would be wrong
