Yeah I'd love if airbnbs had these. I tend to rent places in mountainy areas with bad cell service. It feels like 90% of the time we arrive bleary-eyed from a long drive, needing to look up a place to get dinner, only to find the welcome packet which has a handwritten password like "FJ#)@Jkfsf2JBbnNVnIOfQPOWre230F(&J%^". Minor annoyance, but a bother all the same. I always type it out in the Notes app first to make it easier to fix typos.

I’ve rented many an Airbnb where that long password is scratched out and it looks like a previous guest has written in “torpedo” or something much easier to type.

I guess the upside of default router passwords is that it allows friendly “hackers” to help.

Friendly hackers should know better than to leave a trivially crackable passphrase for an easily captured network.

It’s a cabin in the woods with free WiFi. The risk of someone cracking that is lower than the risk of someone breaking in and reading the password on the fridge.

Missed that, good call!
