All this talk got me curious. I have an app that connects to a database. 
It currently has a strong password and an obscure login that isn't 
anyone's name or email. It has zero sensitive data; think of something 
like your personal jogging times, or a holiday calendar. Totally 
innocuous. You'd be comfortable posting it at a bus stop.

What kind of risk would there be if someone were able to figure out the 
strong credentials it uses? We don't care if anyone sees the data 
itself, but if access were obtained would there be anything else the 
intruder could do?
