If it is Chinese-made, that might just be because the Play Store is blocked by the Great Firewall. Apps in China need to use some other way to update.

This is a great point, but the app in question was Broadlink eControl - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broadlink....
And? What does it matter that someone has a password that's only good for about 100 metres around your house?
Of all the passwords I have, my wifi password is the one I care least about.
I'd be more worried about what the app itself is doing on my phone - I caught one attempting to update outside of the Play Store. No thanks.
