This will end up just being really annoying and accomplish nothing, like most corporate password policies. It would be nice to see a focus on actually solving the problem, instead of the usual liability transfer. Best case scenario, the password is written on a sticker on the device. This is the norm where I live. I would love to see incentives for actual user friendly security enhancements.

- PeterisP 5y agoCredential being stored on a sticker on the device does help against the device being remotely enrolled in a ddos/spam botnet.
- partomniscient 5y agoThe sticker (while cost effective) is still problematic. Having the manufacture make it a permanent part of the device using something like engraving makes it more robust and harder to subvert. Unfortunately as a side effect it increases cost per unit. The sticker's not that bad, but it depends on the devices usage scenario.
