+ | This comic combines two stereotypes about secrets that one would normally be reluctant to share: {{tvtropes|DarkSecret|dark, personal secrets}}, and {{w|password}}s. In the comic, [[Megan]] appears to be about to tell [[Cueball]] a secret of the former variety, but twists it by instead revealing a {{w|one-time password|one-time code}} (presumably for the use of password recovery) for an online account. While this is still something Megan should normally be reluctant to share, it has much less value to him than a personal secret{{Citation needed}} unless his intent was to steal Megan's account. Cueball compounds the humor by reacting with a shocked gasp, as one would be more expected to react to a dark secret. | ||

The title text says that Megan trusts Cueball so much that she would divulge her password to him even if he tried this on her. |
