This is a hack of the robotframework telnet library's login function
because that library does not support login without password.
Just one test is needed inside _submit_credentials
https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/src/robot/libraries/Telnet.py
to test if password is None and There would be no need for this code.
I did not take the time to submit a pull request to robotframework.
