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.

I'm sure the things have network adapters, using the MAC address would be marginally more secure than this.
