What help are you looking for?

Can you think of any circumstance where this would leave you vulnerable to attack?

I can't recall anyone ever arriving here and reporting that sort of hack.

Are you sure it is the router that holds the password rather than your browser? That is where most passwords are saved.

The wndr4300 is, indeed, ancient in router terms. It dates back to 2014 and there hasn't been a firmware update since 2018. If you are worried about security issues, that could be more dangerous. Newer routers get security updates, usually every few months.
