On install, you CAN select 'pi' as the username and anything
you want as the password. It WILL complain - but will do it
if you demand. If you change passwords later there's more of
a chance it will demand "minimum complexity" (that's deep in
the PAM stuff).
IMHO, the more important bit is the password, not the user name.
Make 'em a bit strange and not TOO damned short. A guy in my
office used to use "." as his Winders password :-)
Saw little article today ... "qwerty123" has become almost
as nefarious as "password"
Now if you're a bank or e-commerce site or something higher
profile then yea, gotta get more complicated and add
fail2ban and some other stuff for sure. North Korea is not
going to spend five days worth of CPU time to crack your
little home Pi and its valuable horde of "Rick and Morty"
vids. Your home connection is likely too slow to be very
useful for launching broadscale attacks on other systems
as well.
