Easier for you, or for the reader?

I usually do it this way....

Username: name
Password: password

Because there's no limit to the ways people can misread instructions.

I usually see usernames and passwords written with quotes and then something follows, saying, "(without the quotes)."

Is there an easier way? Bolding, perhaps?
