Pro tip: Change your router admin password right now if you haven't

I was reading a thread on a tech forum last night where a guy said his neighbor's wifi got hacked because the router still had 'admin' as the login. Made me realize I hadn't touched mine since I set it up 2 years ago. Anyone else still using the default credentials on their home router?

Wait, two years on the default password? That's wild! I changed mine after like a week when I first realized how easy it is to guess.

Used to think I was invincible too, but this totally flipped my mindset.

Got a buddy who still uses "password123" on his banking app and I swear he's just tempting fate at this point. Told him he's basically leaving the front door wide open with a welcome mat out.
