    You don’t have to take arbitrary bytes. UTF-8 encoded strings are just fine and easily handled by libraries.

      At least with e-mail clients different clients on different operating systems use different encoding by default for their passwords.

        The manufacturer obviously also makes the app and can control the encoding.

          With a router I could imagine different client apps following different standards.

          Many routers can also be controlled via Telnet, which will also use different encodings depending on your OS.
