Under the PSTI, weak or easily guessable default passwords such as “admin” or “12345” are explicitly banned, and manufacturers are also required to publish contact details so users can report bugs.
Products that fail to comply with the rules could face being recalled, and the companies responsible could face a maximum fine of £10 million ($12.53 million) or 4% of their global revenue, whichever is higher.
