No more 12345: devices with weak passwords to be banned in UK
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Most routers already have non-standard passwords by default. At least in EU. I’m not sure which devices besides routers and IoT peripherals are affected by this bill.
All of them I've seen do use non-standard passwords for the web access portion, however it's been a mixed bag for the admin controls on the router OS itself. It's often just admin/admin.
Which is crazy. I could, if I were inclined, log into the router in someone's house/business if they haven't changed the admin password, but they have provided me with a password to access the web. Most people don't bother changing the admin password.
