On their website, go to the sign in screen and click “Need help signing in”. Go through the prompts and watch the person’s username, and the legal name of all their employers (who have ever used ADP) appear on the screen.
Note: Whether or not you select “my current employer uses ADP”, it will still show you the full list of both current and previous employers (who use ADP).
From there, it is remarkably easy to gain access to paycheck information if you are a grocer, a landlord, a retailer, or anyone of the 2737429193 entities who may have a little extra data on them.
Edit: To address some of the comments, I feel I need to clear something up. I’m not saying this is some authoritarian configuration error ADP messed up on. It’s a standard login that works conveniently for ADP and also happens to be negligent in privacy protection. And it’s most likely completely legal for most people in the U.S.

If the person does currently work with a company using ADP, it will work 100% of the time.
If the person USED to work for a company using ADP, it will work some of the time. I’m guessing it has to do with the particular ADP/subsidiary services used by the most recent employer. That’s just a guess.
