security by no security?
security by no security?
I had an argument with an IT professor I know regarding passwords and security. I was mad about my in-laws having a weak WPA1 protected router and the stock password while I insist on having WPA3 and a very strong passphrase.
Well, the discussion continued and later he said something to the point of “everything tries to guess your password, so I don’t have any where it is possible, because the programs don’t know what to do if there isn’t 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?
Yes and what is the name of his pet?
