I don’t know who is password, or why is password, or when is password, but I *do* know where is password, and it’s out there!

\*[whose](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whose) "who's" is "who is"\[1] or "who has"\[2], and it *can* be wrestled into a possessive if you make "who" all or part of a name\[3], but it's the wrong sort of possessive for this context. If you really want the possessive form, it ought to be phrased "which person's", which is mostly what "whose" means. (An actual linguist would speak more about the genitive and how it works in English, but I'm not as capable.) \[1]: e.g. "Who's there?" \[2]: e.g. "Who's let the cat out again?" \[3]: e.g. "This is you-know-who's box of tricks."
