Linked – Weak passwords banned in California from 2020

From a cybersecurity standpoint, this is a good idea.

It demands that each gadget be given a unique password when it is made.

From a “user has no idea how to get into the device because they never knew the password” standpoint, on the other hand? Yeah that’s going to be a mess.

I predict a lot of devices just sitting around going unused because no one can access them or reset them. Then again, from a security standpoint, maybe that is for the best.
