"You have to take Stupid into consideration."

Stupid is the problem. If the punter is too stupid it has to be their problem rather someone else's. I'm a biologist by training. I see no problem in applying Darwinian selection to the IoT.

How about "Here's your device, there's the password. We have no copy of it. Looking after it is your responsibility."
