Abstract
An agent running on an IoT device of a client's network may receive a default password from a provider network and use the received default password to determine whether the password assigned to the IoT device has been changed from the default password to a different one. The agent may retrieve a salt string, a hashing algorithm, and a hashed string from a password database of the IoT device, combine the salt string with the received default password to generate a salted default password, and apply the hashing algorithm to the salted default password to generate a new hashed string. The agent may then compare the new hashed string to the hashed string retrieved from the password database. If they match, then the agent sends an indication to the provider network that the default password is still assigned to the IoT device.
