History Swordfish / LiveActionTV

* In ''Series/{{The Librarians|2014}}'', one trap purposely has a simple password because it's meant for Ezekiel, who'd never think of it. Except he does because he realizes the trap is meant specifically to fool him.

* In ''Series/{{Batwoman|2019}}'', the password to the Wayne Tower security system is "Alfred". Yeah, no one's ever going to guess that one!

* In the ''Series/MidsomerMurders'' episode "Market for Murder", the password on the Reading Group's secret share market account is "Gerald"; the name of the late husband of the group's founder (whom she could not go five minutes without mentioning in conversation).

* Played sadly straight in an episode of ''Series/{{Castle}}'', where it's determined that a murdered businessman had a secret bank account... the password to which the businessman had written in pen on his chest... and it was a 6 digit number.

* Subverted in ''Series/{{Psych}}'', where Shaun Spencer {{Sherlock Scan}}s the room, and then correctly gives the password. When his friend expresses surprise, he points out that the password is written on the bottom of the (raised) computer, and he simply read the reflection on the CD case. Played straight when the clue to a safe code is the physical measurement of a man's wife (36-24-34).

* Averted in ''Series/{{Degrassi}}''. In the opening double episode, Emma's friends try but fail to guess her email password. They then have to do some hasty but plausible research to figure out the answer to her security question.

* In season 7 of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', "Swordfish" is Nate's (incorrect) guess for the password to a 1925 speakeasy.

** Thirteen correctly guesses that Kutner's email password is "password", reasoning that he would have selected it because email services tell you not to.

* ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'': In the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS1E09AllThoseWhoWander All Those Who Wander]]" Pike's command override code is "two-four-six-eight-ten." When Pike uses the code to unlock the USS ''Peregrine''s' computers, M'Benga teases him about still not having changed his code.

* ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'': In the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS1E09AllThoseWhoWander All Those Who Wander]]" All Those Whose Wander" Pike's command override code is "two-four-six-eight-ten." When Pike uses the code to unlock the USS ''Peregrine''s' computers, M'Benga teases him about still not having changed his code.

* ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'': In the episode "Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS1E09AllThoseWhoWander All Those Whose Wander" Pike's command override code is "two-four-six-eight-ten." When Pike uses the code to unlock the USS ''Peregrine''s' computers, M'Benga teases him about still not having changed his code.

* On ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows'', Nadja has to rescue Nandor, trapped in a dog form at a pound. She mesmerizes the clerk to give up the door lock combo: 1-2-3-4-5. "Humans..."

** This trope was once both averted and invoked in "The Reunion Job". The mark's final password was impossible to crack, so the team spends the night [[spoiler: implanting a new password via SubliminalAdvertising for him to replace it with when Nate told him Elliot was in his office]].

** In episode 7.05, they go back to the same place, and they found a very sturdy door secured by a numeric keypad and a nine-position alphanumeric display for the password. [[spoiler:LMD Coulson]] types in the keypad... to enter the password SWORDFISH.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' Ted asks JD not to watch him type his password... [[WhatAnIdiot then says it aloud]] as he's typing it (it's "alligator3").

* In ''Series/{{Haven}}'', Nathan guesses the password for Audrey's laptop in one try: "lucy", her "mother's" name.

* In season 7 of ''LegendsOfTomorrow'', "Swordfish" is Nate's (incorrect) guess for the password to a 1925 speakeasy.
