SSH Username

What's the SSH user name?  I figured I'd poke around a bit to see what's under the hood, and while I know how to find the current SSH password, I can't seem to find a username to use for login at all...

(It could well be that I'm sick and on cold medicine and missing the obvious).

Additionally, I saw the other post about allowing larger passwords, I too prefer to use 15 - 30 character passwords of randomly generated sequences of letters, numbers and special chars.  But more than that, internally, I much prefer using key based authentication.  

Is it possible to copy my SSH key (via ssh-copy-id) to the firewalla to move to a key-based loging instead?

  the username is 'pi'  (don't tell anyone :) 

  Think of us as Modern Linux!  ... so yes,  you can use certs for ssh.   Feel free to do anything you want, we are open.  And if you mess up, we have recovery instructions.

  You're using Ubuntu.  Who can I talk to privately? (I work for Canonical).
