What do you guys do about usernames / passwords for your local services? - eviltoast

Basically every local service is accessed via a web interface, and every interface wants a username and password. Assuming none of these services are exposed to the internet, how much effort do you put into security here?
Personally, I didn’t really think about it when I started. I make a half-assed effort at security where I don’t use “admin” or anything obvious as the username, and I use a decent-but-not-industrial password - but I started reusing the u/p as the number of services I’m running grew. I have my browsers remember the u/ps.
Should one go farther than this? And if so, what’s the threat model? Is there an easier way?

      Yes, the machine that stays off 363 days of the year is such a security risk to my home network 🙄

        Great, so let’s suppress a warning because YOU are fine…

        Maybe other people don’t realize the issue, but of course you aren’t thinking about anyone but yourself now aren’t you?
