Perfect Dark had two special passwords that players could unlock via certain methods. The passwords were as follows.
Cassandra’s Necklace:
Username: CDV780322
Password: I8MOZYM8NDI85
Multiplayer Reward:
Username: EnTROpIcDeCAy
Password: ZeRo-Tau
What did these passwords do? Back at the time of the game's release, no one knew. You couldn't enter them into the game in any way, which lead fans to searching out hidden rooms to unearth more info. Fans also went into the real world and tried to use the passwords on websites, like the promotional sites carringtoninstitute.com and datadyne.com. Still, those methods resulted in dead ends.
Now former devs have come forward and detailed how the passwords were meant to be used, but not what content they hid. Turns out those trying to enter the passwords into websites were correct. The problem is, RARE never had the time to actually put together the massive ARG they were planning. In other words, the passwords never actually hid anything, because the content wasn't created.
It seems plans were to offer up more info on the game and characters through websites, but even that information is speculative. The devs that offered up the password uses didn't know what content would be provided to players when they used the passwords. They just knew it was meant to hide content on official websites.
