My Mikrotik routers? My Openwrt routers?

Lots of networking equipment works over HTTP only, still.

I am actually really pissed off that I can not use Chromium password manager to save HTTP credentials for these devices.

Both of those do support HTTPS: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Webfig#Enabling_HTTPS https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/luci/luci.secure

This is not the default, and frankly should not be.

MikroTik has supported https for a very very long time, though it comes disabled by default and even if it didn't it wouldn't work because it requires the user creating/importing a cert to use with it.

At least the cert manager is quite intricate and they have a video (assuming the device has a valid WAN IP) on how to set it up with letsencrypt.
