Why not? Do you really like the idea of anyone who happens to be on your
network being easily able to see your management password for your home
router? Perhaps you have a friend with a particularly malicious sense of
humor who might want to break your network. Or a wardriver who broke your
WEP encryption (which I still see plenty of in the wild). Or, for that
matter, your kids, who may be old enough to be wondering how to get around
those parental controls on your fancy new router? (Yeah, I pulled out the
"think of the children!" card - not my finest moment, but it's a valid
concern in some cases.)
