Password

«A password is a string of characters
used to verify the identity of a user
during the authentication process.
Passwords are typically used in tandem

with a username; they are designed to
be known only to the user and allow
that user to gain access to a device,
application or website. Passwords can

vary in length and can contain letters,
numbers and special characters.»

«A Password is a word, phrase, or
string of characters intended to
differentiate an authorized user or

process (for the purpose of permitting
access) from an unauthorized user, or
put another way a password is used to
prove one's identity, or authorize access

to a resource. It's strongly implied that a
password is secret. A password is
usually paired with a username or other
mechanism to provide authentication.»

«A password, sometimes called a passcode (for
example in Apple devices), is secret data, typically
a string of characters, usually used to confirm a

user's identity. Traditionally, passwords were
expected to be memorized, but the large number
of password-protected services that a typical
individual accesses can make memorization of
unique passwords for each service impractical.»
