I don't want some complicated random password. At least where I live, my router password is a very modest security shim to protect against very random casual access. If I have a visitor who needs WiFi access, I want to give them an easy password to type in.
So change it afterwards. Good defaults are important. If someone doesn't change it, it's important that they be on the right path instead of...this one.
You can always change the passwords. I was bringing this up as a solution to the default passwords issue. You don't want to have a static default password used by everyone, so you need the initial password to be randomized. People are dumb so you need to print it on the device. There is no need to default to cloud-based authentication to close the default password security hole.
If it's too hard for a guest to type in a password, you can also have them join by scanning a QR code. Obviously this works better for phones and tablets with QR scanning built into the camera, but that's what guests are frequently using.
It doesn't have to be complicated. A random passphrase can be much simpler and include significantly more entropy: four to six words plus a six-digit number. Any password generator worth a damn can generate something like this.
No device comes off the shelf with OpenWRT. If you're the type of person that's aware of OpenWRT and then install it, it's not that far of a stretch to think you'd also be the type to know to check the password.
GL-inet devices come off the shelf with OpenWRT. They don't have a blank password. Every single one ships with 'goodlife' as the default password, as printed on the label on the back.
I am only thinking of a router with OpenWRT installed. Nothing about a wifi router with OpenWRT has anything to do with a door access device installed by a trained technician or not. The conversation only pertains to the words used, not the unwritten ones you're trying to insert in between the lines of my comment to make a totally unrelated point
