I feel like a boomer, but why is this dangerous? Why is the default randomised string of numbers, letters and special characters easier to guess than if I generate an other random string?
I meant things like admin/admin. I didn’t know they come with randomly generated codes now; that’s good! Even so, as @Cypher@lemmy.world said, the rules by which these codes were generated might be online (like if you search up “[router name] manual”), permitting a targeted brute-force attack maybe.
