hardcoded username? 會削弱系統安全性，一旦出現安全問題將無法輕易修正。
采用硬編碼處理用戶名絕非一個好方法。這不僅是因為采用硬編碼方式處理用戶名能被項目的所有開發者使用，而且使問題變得極其難以解決。一旦代碼被使用，除非為軟件打補丁，否則用戶名將再也不能更改。如果帳戶中的用戶名保護被減弱，系統的所有者將不得不在安全性和可用性之間做出選擇。
示例：以下代碼使用 hardcoded username 來連接數據庫：
...
<cfquery name = "GetSSNs" dataSource = "users"
username = "scott" password = "tiger">
SELECT SSN
FROM Users
</cfquery>
