Just because it's out in the open doesn't mean it's going to be easy

First off, you definitely want to change the WiFi password from the default, and while it certainly is convenient to have it attached to the router, there are still ways you could make it difficult for someone to read it without your help. Of course, for some people, their own handwriting is security enough.

Is putting the WiFi password on the router a thing people do? Are they just leaving it with the default password that's already pasted on the device? I was dragged kicking and screaming into the WiFi age, but I certainly don't have the password on the router (although I can see how that might be convenient, like a computer password stuck to the side of the monitor).
