After releasing a rather large project for a client, they gifted me and some other team members these rather fancy backpacks that included the company logo and a key phrase from the project under it.
It was a rather nice gesture, and I took to wearing the backpack. I actually still do, about six years later, it's a really nice backpack.
The look of horror on their acting "head of security" was explained when he told me that the phrase on our backpack was the default root login for all of their development and production servers. Needless to say, they spent the rest of the day updating all of their boxes user credentials.

"default root login" made me shudder! Someone needs a privileged access management solution..
