OK. I'm with Comprendo through my building. I've set up a single page for you to look at, identity details removed. You know the password already. The number of the extract is: 74419038751-4593855

Password Already knows the password - something we have used before?

Just started going through logs for ideas and noticed TA signed inital correspondence as 'An Advisor' so that could also be a possibilty for username...

Could the username be pietro-related since TA says she set up a page for him to use?

Does an analyst count as an advisor?
Because the man arrested, Rupert Ayano was an accounts analyst. Would he be worth trying? He was the recipient of a lot of money...
Or was that a different story? In which case Comprendo aren't that great at choosing financial staff...

It might well have been set up in Pietro's name. For a start, we have no guarantee that he ever found out TA's real name. But, even more importantly, at the time she wrote him this message, they had yet to meet formally, so had probably not been introduced. Equally, she might have been wary of telling him her actual name at any point.
It's a bit odd that he should have known the password already though - does that imply that she told him in some correspondence as yet unseen? Or that she gave him a clear hint as to what it was?

What about 'already' for a password?

I like your thinking! Although I couldn't get it to work... (tried various combinations with Pietro, Salk, and the extract number.)

Perhaps the username is the extract number given in the message...

I tried that with Advisor/Pietro combinations but no luck.
Though from the message telling this it seems to indication it is more of a reference number to a file somewhere in the banking details.
There is still two other correspondances we need to open from the Salk logs - perhaps it is in there?

password fodder I added a post to the people section here on what is known about The Advisor.
There may be some fodder there for a password.
I keep going back to two entries, in particular, from the Salk log, looking for a hint.
These two:

No. It was a "gift" via a one-time key. Someone bought a cheap key from a big store and transferred Lecks to it. As if they were going out clubbing for the night, you know, they way young people do when they don't want to risk damaging their expensive stylish key. That money came to me and, if they're sensible, they'll have physically destroyed the intermediary key and added a whole bunch of obfuscatory routing and encryption to stop people to following the trail. It was probably more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. Anyway. No. No evidence apart from a large transfer.
and....

It's an expression of trust.
But, alas, there's nothing spoilerized in this post.

Could the user be someone who works at Ascendancy Point, as that is where the site is located. The only one that I could find is Alasandro Mere.

Re: Extraction number I think it's fairly safe to say the extraction number is probably the transation record marker of when she deposited all the lecks on the payment key into her key, or bank account. That way when Pierto is looking at this record sheet (which may have an expenditure to Red Hot Bakery for xxx Lecks?) he can find that number of when the extraction of lecks took place.
Could you imagine looking over a strangers Bank statement looking for a deposit, but no knowing what day, or how much it was? Only way you could is by transaction number.
*tick* But...if we do find access to this path and find what day it was and even where it was (i.e. what ATM more or less) then we might have something to work off of.
Till again....

fairly new here, but could the quote " its an expression of trust" be a clue
????
maybe a word that is the password?
