    There is a business I walk past every day and when you look in the window you can see wifi login creds and her name and password. Ive considered saying something but then I’d have to explain why they shouldn’t do it and argue with them that its important.

    Plus they’re property managers so i would laugh if they got hacked.

      There was a common issue with a local ISP that their default wifi router passwords were based on the router’s MAC address.

      I scanned the wifis I could reach from my flat and found one that was vulnerable. Now I didn’t know who that wifi belonged to. I would have had to knock on everyone’s door, asking everyone if it’s their wifi. Couldn’t be bothered doing that and looking stupid doing so.

      So instead I logged into their wifi and from there into their router config web page (it also had the default credentials admin/admin) and changed the SSID to [old SSID]_hacked.

      The day after they had changed the SSID back and changed the password.

    or just don’t use the same login information for everyone for a platform that way it doesn’t need to be publicly posted.

      They probably wanted to save on licensing costs.

        it’s always licensing costs.

        don’t know how this is legal yet pirating software is illegal.

          Maybe if licensing costs weren’t ridiculous I wouldn’t mind.

          $15/m/user is ridiculous. Charge me like $100 a year for the license and then like $1/m/user on top. It literally doesn’t matter much how many users there are for many programs, no extra resources for the company. And if it does use resources it’s usually not $15/m worth.

          it’s not technically legal afaik… the license defines a user pretty rigorously

      It’s the 21c, passwords shouldn’t exist.

        What’s the alternative? It would have to be something that wouldn’t work if the user was unconscious and that offered plausible deniability if they were awake and being coerced.

        What, other than a password, offers that?

        Relatedly, I don’t even know most of my passwords these days. I use a password manager (one that doesn’t require internet access) that generated random strings. I only ever see them if I accidentally paste them into the wrong field.
