Every citizen has a government-instated code (similar to SSI) that they use to buy things, purchase tech, log in to the Cyberworks network, run a server, etc. Passwords must be kept extremely private, it is expensive to change it if you forget (however criminals can threaten you for them if you are weak enough). However, in Code 0, your code is your character. If you are killed in Code 0, your code is terminated, and it is very difficult to get a new one (and you can't do basic things, so you have to resort to crime).
