This is a stupid take. “The programs don’t know what to do” - okay, but people do. This is like not locking your front door at all because you think the lock can be broken. Any lock is better than none. You can set a pass phrase, hide the WiFi SSID, and be done with it. No idea why on earth anyone would just not set any password on a router, or anything for that matter, if there is an option to set one.
What are your opinions about this?
I just don't understand his statement , can you elaborate more?
His statement is that he has no password whatsoever because it is more secure than having a strong password
He's very, very wrong and there are some good answers above as to the why.
Did he give you an example application where he practices this password-free lifestyle?
That sounds even worse than security by obscurity.
