Funny how there is a post-it with a password glued to the screen of the computer in the lede image, now in plain sight for thousands of readers.

I think this is Ccjaas2004. I'm not 100% sure on the letters, but the year is easy to see. Hopefully, they've changed their password sometime in the past 21 years.

That's true. Now it is most likely Ccjaas2025.

That's CCJ who married AAS in 2004. The password is still the same. But what's the username and what's the service?

I think you're correct. They probably use it as the password "format" and haven't updated the post-it in order to trick anyone trying to steal the password! What could go wrong?

Everybody logs-in with the same username into the only app. It's a kiosk computer without a surviving vendor to support it.

The image URL contains a parameter for size in pixel, and it's modifiable...

It's ok, comes back clean on https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords, probably a few more years of life left in it!

Ah thanks for that. I've been meaning to change my password for a while, looks like this is a strong choice then.
