   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.  "
