Hardcoding passwords in factory firmware is so early-2010's. You would think the long list of routers, cameras, and IOT devices listed on Shodan would be a cautionary tale.

But nooo.

For the price of a few coffees they could have generated one using a password manager. Bitwarden or anything.

For the price of free they could generate one. Though they shouldn't be hard coded regardless of how good it is.
