Serious question, I used to think a simple password was fine for my home router
After my neighbor's kid in Austin somehow got into mine and changed the Wi-Fi name last month, I learned you NEED a complex admin password. Anyone have a good method for creating and remembering a strong one for this?

That Austin kid story is exactly why I switched to a passphrase last year.

Man, a buddy of mine had his smart lights start turning on and off at all hours. Turns out his router password was just his street address. I make mine a short sentence now, like "mydoghas3brownspots". It's long but you can actually remember it, and good luck guessing that mess.
