@electrineer should work, as long as the other part is a tech person, and if not, no codeword would help :)

@electrineer I wish it was that simple. If you throw a straight ball they usually get confused and go right back to showing their crappy tool. It must be a password without any word known out of dev circles, otherwise it could sound like "Why don't we use SQL instead of windows?".
I actually heard that question once.

Go big or go home.
Tech people should have a codeword. So that I don't have to explain to every data provider showing off their own crappy limited analytics tool that "I do know what SQL means and I just need the ODBC user/pass, thanks".
I wish I could just say "hey, &0x00A0 = 1337;" out loud and he would be like "oh, thanks! I needed the break. Here is the ODBC crap, I'm gonna grab some coffee."
