One thing I noticed is that the real online banking window displays "UPC Bank" in the title bar (just like the fake one). I guess that's a mistake since that was one of the main giveaways that it was fake.
Made a very positive impression on a much younger me. The DOS prompt on my parents’ PC had always been a bit scary, since I didn’t really know what I was doing and was worried I might mess something up. The game was a (very limited) sandbox in which I could mess around without consequences:

There's a hint in the desk drawer (you need to zoom in even further to see it) that is a reminder to change the passcode. Similar to a TODO comment... it just never got done.
Is it really a reminder to change the drawer passcode, or rather a password hint for the computer in case Anne ever forgets?
Hi, I'm the maintainer and put together the code for this first working prototype of the digital version of the game. Thanks already for your feedback! I will gladly provide hints here if you get stuck :) Many thanks also to atum47, whose FOS, Fake Operating System I've used for the game.

I like it, but the format for the password was pretty frustrating.
I won! I had to get the bank account number from the JS source however :)
I would say that is equivalent to asking Marwin. So you pass :) In fact, this is a welcome solution to the game. When used as an educational tool, this can be used as a starting point to discuss ways to bypass intended ways of accessing something.

yeah, seems like theres not enough hint to let on how this should be formatted.
I got frustrated trying out different passwords, so I looked at the source code. The username is "anne.kingston". I found the password hash, but not sure how to go back to get the password itself. Password hash: (hashy == "3880" && saltedhashy == "2425") The hash is computed in a loop as: `prehash += (s[i].charCodeAt() * (i+1));` I'm not sure how to go reverse this. Maybe someone can help? Here's a tuple of passwords…
