Computers in the 40's were used to perform calculations for the military of the country that developed it. The Z3 in Germany was the first such computer, with the American Harvard-IBM MARK I and ENIAC, along with the English Colossus coming soon after that.

What passwords were used in 1940?

Computer passwords really were not used in 1940 because few people had any clue how to use a computer and access control to the very few existing computers was maintained via control of physical access to the computers. Since the computers were not networked, there was no concern about someone coming in over a (nonexistent) network.

Is there computers in the 1940s?

No I don't think that there were computers in the 1940's TV's just started in the 50's if there were computers (which I highly doubt) thaey wouldn't be anything like today's computers. A little bit of searching will show that there were primitive computers. They were mostly mechanical analog computers rather than electronic digital devices like we have today. They were mostly used for computing bomb and rocket trajectories. Some very early electronic computers were built in England and the U.S. to help decode encrypted Axis messages.
