    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.

        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.

      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.
