It's more likely that the Cards had a Excel file "Master_Passwords.xls" (or similar) with all his department's passwords listed in it on a shared department folder. No encryption, hashing, etc. Maybe they used Excel password protection on the file.
Just a hunch, but I've seen it many times at past employers.
