UK law: Product Security and Telecommunications Security Act 2022 which
is amongst things, designed to stop devices, like routers for example,
from having default passwords that can easily be guessed. That's because
many people leave the passwords at the default settings and then such
devices are more easily roped into DDOS attacks.

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.  "
