Do you need a password on your gaming machine? What is your threat model?
- bob-09 3y agoEven if there’s nothing on the machine itself you care about, don’t forget about everything else it can talk to on your local network.
- cuu508 3y agoSo the scenario is: somebody breaks into the house, sits down at the gaming PC, and is able to poke around the local network because the gaming PC has no login password?
- bob-09 3y agoI wouldn't say it's THE scenario, but it's A scenario. There's a reason IEEE says it's best practice to give IoT devices a strong username and password and to segment them away from the rest of your network, right?
