Found: Admin creds on a napkin? (Not kidding)

ok this is stupid but also iconic

helping a buddy move out of a tiny office and in a box of junk I found a folded napkin with sticky coffee rings and — wait for it — what looks like an admin username and a half-erased password scribbled on it.

Ozzy@driverportal : Cr4zyTr@in!!!1Ha_Ha (yes the “-ish” is literally there)

could be total trash, could be someone’s desperate last-resort note. Either way it made my day.

Moral of the story: humans are terrible at secrets and even worse at laundry.

Also: who writes creds on napkins in 2025? Retro cringe. Anyone else got real-world cringe finds? pics or it didn’t happen.

I’ve seen this before. People will literally write down their admin passwords on anything within reach—sticky notes, receipts, even whiteboard corners.

The “-ish” part is interesting though. Might mean they updated the password but didn’t bother changing the note. Or worse: they’ve got multiple variants floating around. Either way, sloppy as hell.
