Also the California Senate Bill 327:

"(b) Subject to all of the requirements of subdivision (a), if a connected
device is equipped with a means for authentication outside a local area
network, it shall be deemed a reasonable security feature under subdivision
(a) if either of the following requirements are met:

(1) The preprogrammed password is unique to each device manufactured.

(2) The device contains a security feature that requires a user to generate
a new means of authentication before access is granted to the device for the
first time.  "
