It seems that most characters in fiction missed the memo on making a good Secret Word or pass phrase. They are almost invariably single words, names, or dates of significance to a character which can be easily deduced using a little detective work: the clue is often right there on the desk, in the form of a picture or memento. Or simply spelled out in bold lettering on your commemorative plaque or a wall poster. Sometimes, if the pass phrase is voice-activated, and particularly easy to crack, the main characters will guess it accidentally through normal conversation. Another thing that's widely overlooked in fiction is the fact that a password in most cases has to be matched with a username. Many websites and servers nowadays also require you to include mixed-case letters, number, and special characters in an effort to make your password less guessable.note Which is actually outdated - general consensus now is to make your password as long as humanly possible. In addition, they lock you out after three tries. Both these measures can be ignored at will in fiction if it serves the plot. There is a dramatic purpose to this. A character's password can give a glimpse into their mind, by showing what person, thing or concept is occupying their thoughts. Also, it allows for dramatic scenes where the heroes try to guess the villain's password based on what they know about him. In addition, it also serves as a Stock Puzzle in Video Games, and the player should be able to actually figure out the password from surrounding clues. A related trope in fiction is to have the password entry plain and clear—on the screen—for all to see. No sense in bleeping out the characters with asterisks or a mute prompt. Of course, scriptwriting-wise, a particularly amusing password can elicit a humorous response from the audience this way without dialogue exposition. This is sadly Truth in Television, as the Real Life folder below demonstrates, with often devastating results. May overlap with One Password Attempt Ever, where you're shut out if you don't enter the password correctly the first time. See also Override Command, Joe Sent Me, and Embarrassing Password. |

In the Team Fortress 2 video Meet the Spy, the Soldier enters the code to the security room. We get a closeup of the keypad which shows that only the "1" key has any wear and tear on it. Sure enough the Soldier enters "1111" as the password but he struggles to remember the fourth digit while doing so. | |

During the early days of MapleStory, there was a period of time when accounts with USA registered as the player's country couldn't log in due to an error. One disgruntled player decided to try logging in with random combinations, and to his (and afterwards, everyone's) astonishment, the username "asdf" with no password at all netted him access to a GM account. Hilarity Ensued. | |

The Far Side: One issue of featured a group of gangsters being led out of their hiding place by the police, and one of them gripes "I knew 'Shave And A Haircut' was a bad secret knock." Another strip seems to avert this trope. A group of mobsters is reviewing the location of their new headquarters—455 Elm Street—which wouldn't be easy to guess. They then decide to repeat this information "about a hundred times so there'll be no screw-ups." Unfortunately, they're having the conversation in an exotic pet shop... full of parrots. |

In GoldenEye Boris, supposedly one of the greatest hackers in the Soviet Union and able to crack the United States' government databases, uses simple, one-word passwords and dares his rival, Natalya, to guess them by giving her simple riddles. It obviously backfires when he gives her the riddle "You sit on it, but you can't take it with you," for his personal password. Bond determines that the answer is "chair" in less than a second, allowing Natalya to track Boris's position and find the terrorists' secret hideout. Justified in that up until this point all the answers were "dirty words" (usually female anatomy). Natalya followed this line of thought and kept trying different ways of saying "buttocks" and failing, whereas Bond, not having known Boris gets it on the first try.note It's worth noting, that he only did this to Natalya when she was an ally, so he was never taking security seriously anyway. His mistake was not changing the password after he betrayed her. | |

In Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, the password to access the HX 368 computer is "IY 479"—in other words, "HX 368" with each characters shifted up by one. After it's cracked, they add another level of security to the system...which turns out to be nothing more than reversing the code. With predictable results. It even gets addressed in the movie, the Novacorp chairman purposefully used a simple method to change the password because he figured Fingal wouldn't think to try something so simple. To his credit, it almost worked. | |

After Lexaeus and Xaldin guesses on Xiggykun Akuchan Marleydono HomieXLuxory Secks DemykinsOMGWTFBBQVCR Zexypoo Mansex (which is all the Seme's names in order), Vexen points out that it's both too many letters as well as incredibly stupid and asks what kind of idiot would use such a password. Xaldin answers that Mansex would, since he's the seme of Xemnas whose somebody Xehanort was known for his dumb passwords (see Video Games for more information). Of course, the password's correct. | |

Sluggy Freelance: In "Oceans Unmoving", all the teknocon gear in timeless space is on factory defaults. Since only one person in timeless space knows the factory defaults for this stuff, it hardly matters. Justified by the fact that only the people who should be able to access the teknocons were in timeless space in the first place. Teknocon one had a different password, which was intended for the hacker to access. Another example is when Sasha manages to hack into Riffs computer. The password... "beer". In "Kiki's Virus", Dr. Crabtree has been using the names of her lab animals as passwords. The second one still takes a bit of figuring out, because Dr. Schlock initially assumes the relevant name to be spelled "Burro" instead of "Borough". |

Sam & Max: Spoofed by The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police. In "The Thing That Wouldn't Stop It", a character demands a password before adding: "...And if you say 'swordfish,' I'll lose it!" The password ends up being "haggis". Later, in Sam And Max Save the World: The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball, one of Sam's guesses for the password to the back room of Ted E. Bear's Mafia-Free Playland and Casino is "swordfish". The real password is the phrase "Leave the guns, take the cannoli." And again in Sam and Max Save the World: Reality 2.0, where it's one of the guesses for the password to Bosco's bank account. However, the real password is Bosco. |

Double subversion in Kevin & Kell; Lindesfarne needs to get Vin's password to access his computer and alter his data to prevent him from exposing Domestication, but the obvious password, "die_rudy_die"(based on Vin's known hatred for Rudy), doesn't work; he changed it to "mr_and_mrs_vin_and_dale_vulpen", as he had recently developed a crush on Corrie (who was masquerading as a wolf named Dale). Rather than guess that password, she has to date him in order to get it. Aby's e-mail password was "C4TD00R". And she never changed it when she left her ex, so he still had access to her account. |

In Catch That Kid, the password Maddie needs to get into her mother's bank is her own name, Madeline. The movie itself provides a double subversion by having the kids figuring out the master password of the bank's owner early in the planning process (the man is an obsessive Robert De Niro fan, so he used the actor's last name) and finding out the hard way once they were inside that this password provides access to everything but the bank's vault itself. However, Maddie's mother is the one who designed the security, and figuring out the second password was as simple as a flashback to Maddie's mother telling her that "you're always close to my heart" in a very important moment. | |

In Dennis the Menace, Dennis correctly guesses that Mr. Wilson's safe combination is the same as his house number, reasoning that Mr. Wilson is "at least as smart" as his classmate who did the same. And while you would think Mr. Wilson would realize how foolish that is when a grade schooler figures it out, he apparently doesn't, as a thief effortlessly cracks the safe later in the movie. | |

Totally Spies!: Both subverted and averted in the episode "Child's Play." The girls have to reprogram a machine that is creating evil dolls that regress adults into childish behavior. Alex remarks that passwords in these situations are always obvious choices, so she tries "Toys" and "Little Ann" (the name of the doll in question). They don't work, prompting Alex to angrily comment that the Mad Scientist of the week "doesn't know the rules." Then Sam unplugs the machine, shutting it down. But they also have plenty of fails this way, too. Some kid who we're supposed to believe is this amazing computer geek in the episode "Silicon Valley Girls" has an evil hacking AI called 'CHAD'. Guess what the password to the AI is? 'CHAD'. Sort of obvious. Played straight in "Future Shock", where Sam finds out that her future counterpart has the same log-in password that she has, obviously because she never changed it. (She makes a note to do so as soon as she gets back to her own time.) |

Used in an episode of Adventures in Odyssey. Alex and Cal are trying to get information from the website of the community college where Alex's mother works, but it needs a password. Cal looks around, spots a sticky note nearby which says "Milk and eggs" and deduces that this must be the password. Alex says that that's his mom's shopping list, but Cal decides to try it anyway. Much to the chagrin of just about everybody except Cal, it works. | |

Fallout: Equestria: Most of the terminal passwords Littlepip comes across tend to be single words or short phrases. For example, the password Littlepip uses to decode the message obtained in the terminals at Sweet Apple Acres and Carousel Boutique is "apple". The terminal Littlepip hacks in chapter 7 has a similarly poor password: "terminal". Littlepip was unimpressed. The terminal protecting Red Eye's ascension chamber, the culmination of decades of work and expected to create something that will extend centuries into the future, is protected with the password "Littlepip." Littlepip is extremely disturbed. |

During the heist proper, after Piranha has to instigate a dance number to prevent Snake from getting caught, he grabs it from the suitcase it's hidden inside of... and it's revealed to be '12345', much to his ire. | |

Hackers, though a white hat hacker points out that he had made a list of passwords that are overly easy-to-guess (the one used was "God") and thus should be avoided. He neglects to mention "password," however. In his defense, anyone brainless enough to use "password" as their password deserves to get hacked. | |

In HFIL, Cell and Freeza find a security panel in the garage with 4 digits to enter. After Cell jokingly suggests trying 8008, Freeza assumes – since King Cold apparently installed it – that the password is his birthday. First day of the galactic calendar—0001. This sets off the security system and locks them inside. Freeza then tries brute-forcing the keypad by going down the line to 0002 and 0003 until Cell points out the letters on the keys. From there, Cell tries 4345 (HFIL), Freeza tries 3792 (FRZA) and Cell tries 4746 (GURU). None of them work – though the last has a brief pause before being rejected – and they decide to just wait until Goz and Mez come looking for them. After they’re found, Cold stays behind to reset the password. Double subverted when it turns out to be 4386 (GEVO) which, along with the Red Ribbon Army logo appearing, points to who installed the security system.* Gevo is the name of Doctor Gero’s deceased son. |

He proceeds to cover his eyes and mash the keyboard for about a minute straight. They never figure out how to unlock it again. Its worth elaborating that Herrimen misunderstood the instruction to mean that the password had to be random every time it was entered, much to Frankie's exasperation. |

Irwin's password is "gizmo", which is both too short and a dictionary word. Worse yet, the moment he receives it, he immediately blurts it out, which later allows Larry to log in with the authorization to choose a microchip for their new toys, kicking off the plot. | |

In the Neon Genesis Evangelion episode with Jet Alone, the password to its main computer is "hope" (希望, displayed on a screen, using a Japanese IME to type it in). This is a word you would likely learn in your first semester of Japanese study if you take a class. | |

In King of the Hill Bobby wants to watch FOX so he and Joseph can see what this "Daytona 500" they've heard about is, but Hank has a block on it. Now, Hank's a complicated guy who has no strange obsessions that would make his password completely obvious... oh wait, yes he does (propane, for those who don't watch the show). Unfortunately, the Daytona 500 wasn't what they were expecting (it was just cars driving around a track with nothing exploding, no hot women, and the 500 wasn't 500 of something awesome). | |

Tak tries to give the ship's makers some benefit of the doubt by figuring they were going for something too obvious for someone to try. She's less forgiving for the fact that the code for the ship's Self-Destruct Mechanism is simply "Blow up." | |

Used twice in Johnny Test. In the episode "The Dog Days of Johnny", the password to Susan and Mary's lab is "Gil" (the name of the boy next door, which they both have a crush on). In the episode "Johnny Escape From Bling Bling Island", the password to Eugene's escape pod is "Susan" (who he has a crush on). In both cases, Johnny instantly guesses the password because it's so obvious. Apparently Mary and Susan realized this, so they changed the password(s). Yet Johnny, and even Lila, were able to figure it out, and it still involves Gil. |

After spending half the episode trying to decipher it and uncover why their erratic captain was acting even more enigmatic, they give up and resign to deleting it as per the Captain's orders: as soon as they say "delete", the data file unlocks. | |

DuckTales (1987): Gyro Gearloose set the activation word for the Gizmoduck suit to "blatherskite", because he thought nobody used that expression. He was wrong, and Fenton Crackshell accidentally activated the suit by saying "blathering blatherskite" near it. In DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp, Huey, Dewey, and Louie put their awesome codebreaking skills to work opening the side entrance of Scrooge's Moneybin. |

DuckTales (2017): In "The Infernal Internship of Mark Beaks!", Dewey finds an abandoned briefcase that he uses to look professional while competing for the titular position, regardless of the fact that he can't open it. Huey suggests trying the factory default, which works, promptly revealing: A, the briefcase belonged to Flintheart Glomgold, the second-richest duck in the world, and B, it contained $100,000 in cash. Played with in "Escape from the ImpossiBin!" The password to deactivate the Money Bin's defenses is so secure that Scrooge himself couldn't figure it out. But then it turns out that it was the exact ammount of money contained in the Bin. It's not a widely known fact, but one of the people who did know that information was the exact person Scrooge was trying to lock out. Oops. |

This means that the team sends her to tackle anything involving a password, because she can simply choose the "randomly pressed the right keys in the right sequence" possibility. However, a task like that has a lot of variables, so it takes a few minutes of work for her to find the right outcome, and because her body lives through every possibility she sees, she ages rapidly when taxed. | |

xkcd disagrees with this trope in a rather well explained fashion. It has a value of truth. Four random dictionary words make a surprisingly secure password, and one that's easier to remember than a single word with various characters replaced by lookalikes, let alone a password created by mashing on the keyboard.note Sadly, many online services cap the number of characters a password can have, usually 16 characters or even less, making it hard to generate valid passwords in this fashion. | |

An episode of American Dad! has Roger end up hiring a hitman to kill himself (don't ask), and tried to give said hitman the password "password" to call it off, which didn't work. It's "password1". "I require both letters and numbers," says the hitman. In the episode "In Country... Club" (the one with the Vietnam re-enactment) Stan's code for the TV is 4812, which is Roger's pants size (much to Roger's surprise and dismay). |

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock showed us that the codes used for the Enterprise self destruct sequence haven't changed in 15 years, despite there having been one major refit and several command changes. Although the film apparently zig-zags this trope. On the one hand, the self destruct code is the not quite terrible but still pretty bad: "1, 1A," then "1, 1A, 2B," then "1B, 2B, 3," and finally, "0, 0, 0, Destruct 0," though the latter designates the type of destruction ('0' detonates charges designed to ruin every part of the ship, '1' causes an antimatter explosion that would vaporize the ship and anything else close by). On the other hand, activating the self destruct sequence requires the consent of three different officers, each of whom is identified by voice recognition. | |

Spirit Hunter: NG: In the Kubitarou case, a forgetful priest writes down a riddle to help him remember the password to the lock on the well. The riddle in question relates to the cedar trees that used to grow in the area, and the protagonists must use contextual clues to puzzle it out. In the Killer Peach case, the password to Bandou's computer is not only easily found underneath his desk, but also turns out to be Bandou's own surname. Even worse, accessing the computer reveals a second unsecured password for his boss' computer. |

Mike, being the brat he is, proudly boasts about this, even accusing Mr. Wonka of having a lousy security system. (For his part, Mr. Wonka is not happy about this at all...but also curious about how Mike went about all this.) | |

Subverted in Patlabor: The Movie. When the protagonist just tries the name of a brilliant programmer as the password to the man's source-code disk, he gets a biblequote from Genesis 11 for his trouble. Oh, and every electronic piece of equipment connected to the computer he was using gets infected with a virus and displays/prints nothing but the word Babel in an endless loop. | |

The Overwatch fan animation "Omnileaks" features Sombra being accused by everyone else of hacking into Winston's computer and leaking all of their embarrassing secrets, like Reaper's fear of air conditioning. Sombra insists it's Not Me This Time, but really wishes it were because of how funny it all is. It turns out Winston's online security is just really poor, as all of his electronics simply use "password" as the password. When called out on the fact this means anyone could have gotten in, Winston insists that's only true if they have the password. | |

In Lupin III: The First, Bresson's diary is locked in an impenetrable case that requires two keys to open, but if you happen to have said keys and twist the lock, it triggers a 60-second countdown that will make a bomb in the case blow up, taking the diary and anyone else nearby with it unless you can spell the correct 8-letter word using the 5 provided letters. Lupin panics until he realises that the password is Laetitia, which happens to be the exact same name given to the women of Bresson's family such as the woman right next to him. | |

Played with in Black Lagoon. A two-part password to identify a hired bodyguard as genuine is "May the force be with you" ("The Triad is super cool." in the Japanese version). The lack of creativity behind this password is lampshaded by both courier and bodyguard. The trick is that it's not the real password. The real password was handed out in sealed envelopes to the courier and bodyguard beforehand, and having anyone complete the fake one would identify an impostor and also implicate a leak in the organization. | |

WarGames. This movie took place in the early eighties, when password security issues were not as cliché as they are now, but this movie demonstrates both simple passwords and the habit of writing them down in a nearby list. The backdoor password for NORAD's "War Operation Plan Response" program on the computer that controls the entire nuclear missile arsenal of the United States is "Joshua", the name of the programmer's dead son. The same name that the programmer has given the computer itself, in fact. Just before trying "Joshua", David says "It can't be that simple!" Way to go, Professor Falken. In the novelization of the film, Falken's backdoor was Joshua5, five being his son's age when he died. Not much better, but at least it had a number in it. In Falken's defense, he didn't fully know the system would be used for what it was. Or that a back door into the system would have been left open by accident that allowed David into the system. The school teacher uses simple words for passwords, like "pencil". It was implied the school computer system's password field could only accept alphabetical sequences of exactly six characters. It's very obvious from the tones how easy the padlock passcode is. It appears to be two different digits each repeated three times. |

In Gargoyles, the trope is subverted. Demona realizes that the heroes have devised a way to stop her latest plan to destroy every human in New York and interferes with their efforts by breaking into Xanatos's computer, sabotaging it, and then changing the access code. Ultimately, no one is able to guess the password, and it takes some magical interference from the Weird Sisters to get her to tell them. The fact that Demona was the only member of her clan still awake for the past few centuries could have given it away—the heroes simply didn't have enough time to make any educated guesses: | |

Spoofed in a small article in The Onion Ad Nauseum Vol.14, where a 14-year-old guesses his parents' AOL password on the first try, because it's the name of the family pet. Lampshaded by the boy himself, who says he can't believe they would use something that obvious. | |

MonsterVerse: Kong: Skull Island sequel graphic novel Skull Island: The Birth of Kong: Dr. Brooks is able to easily guess the password on Aaron's recorder is Gjallarhorn, because Aaron loved hearing his father read him Norse mythology as a child. Justified, as Aaron chose that password so his father alone could unlock the recording if the recorder ever made it to the outside world. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: lightly downplayed in "Aftermath". Cate makes several attempts to crack Hiroshi's safe by inputting the birthdays of herself and other people close to him. Ultimately, the real passcode is found by mixing and matching the days and months in Cate's, Kentaro's and their respective mothers' birthdays — once Cate applies this logic, she gets the right mix-and-match of the four birthdays on the first try. |

In Red vs. Blue, Sarge of the Red Army seems to be prone to this. Sarge programmed their jeep's remote driving system to respond to a secret password. This is revealed to be 'Drive'. Later, when accessing a secured data transmission, he gives the password as 'Password'. This may be par for the course for the militaries involved... Grif made the password for letting people in 'Password' (and was chastised by Simmons, saying it need to be 2 letters and 2 numbers at least- so his would be '2Dumb2Live'). Lopez's access code was 'Access Code', while the activation code for Grif's armor to self destruct is 'Activation Code'... keep it simple. note Simmons is going to pretend he didn't hear that last one. Happens in "Reconstruction", too. When Agent Washington calls Command to get the code word that will let the Reds know he's legit: Sarge changes the password to 'Shotgun' later on, but given what his signature weapon is, it's not that much better. Outside of Sarge, the miniseries MIA has the Blue Army's password being... 'Blue'. |

Star Trek Continues: Subverted in "The White Iris". Captain Kirk made the password for a new planetary defense grid, but he suffers a head injury and can't remember it, plus he gets haunted by the memories of women he failed to save. The crew attempts to brute force the password, but Chekhov finds out the system will lock them out if they fail the password too many times. After getting his issues sorted out, Kirk finally remembers the password is "Irises" just in time to save the planet from bombardment. McCoy complains that's a dumb password, but Spock comments the fact that none of them were able to figure it out means it works. Spock looks up the painting Irises by Vincent van Gogh, which symbolizes loneliness, and suspects that is why Kirk chose that as the password. | |

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan showed us that one Federation starship can use a "prefix code" to get another Federation starship to lower its shields. This very dangerous trick is protected by five-digit (non-repeating judging by the switch mechanism used to enter it), numbers-only sequence a modern-day computer could break in almost no time. The only saving grace is that there is an Override Command in place specifically designed to keep starships from doing this to each other at will; the system was designed to take out captured vessels, under the assumption that any boarding parties would be unlikely to locate it (Khan humorously stumbles about looking for the override on helm control, not tactical where it would be). Also, it could be that the ship would only get one crack at the code, so a brute force password attack would fail. | |

Millie notices that of all the possible numbers, the "1" button is the only one with any wear and tear on it, so they try "1111". Sure enough, they nail it on the first guess. When stealing the Ars Goetia from Blitzo's safe Octavia tries 1-2-3-4 and it opens immediately. |

Case Closed: In order to shake a suspicious Ran off his trail, Conan deliberately picks a password for his cellphone that is a Homage to Sherlock Holmes, as that's the only password that would be logical for both Conan and Shinichi (who Ran thinks the phone really belongs to). Still, before Ran figures this out, she attempts his birthday, hers, and then just goes straight for the brute force method. Ran's father Kogoro isn't that much better: he admits to using things like his birthday or his name, changed to similar-sounding numbers (One, Two, Three, Four, Go!, after all), as passwords. |

Lupin III: Similar to the aforementioned Tenchi example: In one episode, Lupin and Jigen break into NASA using a series of stolen voice-command passwords. When they encounter one more password than they expected, the pair panics and Lupin swears in frustration—which turns out to be the final password. (Extra note: In the Gag Dub English dub, all the passwords are Star Trek catchphrases.) In Lupin III: The First, Bresson's diary is locked in an impenetrable case that requires two keys to open, but if you happen to have said keys and twist the lock, it triggers a 60-second countdown that will make a bomb in the case blow up, taking the diary and anyone else nearby with it unless you can spell the correct 8-letter word using the 5 provided letters. Lupin panics until he realises that the password is Laetitia, which happens to be the exact same name given to the women of Bresson's family such as the woman right next to him. |

Downplayed in One Piece. The Thousand Sunny's refrigerator has a combination lock to prevent Luffy from raiding it. Sanji, who's in charge of cooking, set the password to 7326. This doesn't sound like such a bad password, until you realize that the numbers can respectively be pronounced as "Na," "Mi," "Ni," and "Ro," and the two female members of the crew are named Nami and Nico Robin, and Sanji has a crush on both of them. Both Nami and Robin know the password, but since Sanji often gives the girls preferential treatment, it isn't clear whether they figured it outnote Not only are they the two smartest crew members, but Robin could use her Devil Fruit power to spy on Sanji as he puts in the combination or he told them. | |

Futurama: In the episode "War is the H-Word", a planet-destroying bomb is installed inside Bender and set to activate when Bender says the word "ass" (established as the word Bender uses the most). The crew cannot remove the bomb, so Professor Farnswoth programs in a password which Bender would never use in everyday conversation. Of course, Bender takes this as a challenge... In "The Luck of the Fryrish", Fry goes back to his old home to get something out of the safe. Its combination is "3". |

The Fairly OddParents!: Timmy needs to get the password to a special cage belonging to "Catman", a superhero who had outstayed his welcome as the Crimson Chin's temporary replacement, to rescue his Fairy Godparents, disguised as dogs. Timmy then ponders what a man as deep and thoughtful as Catman would choose... three guesses what he came up with. Also in "Hassle in the Castle". The password to Cosmo & Wanda's house is: "COSMO, YOU IDIOT!!!" (It comes handy that Timmy can also impersonate Wanda's voice.) The password to the wand safe is somewhat harder, but Timmy cracks it on the third try: "I should have married the monkey!" |

Averted and referenced in Chobits. When Hideki tries to set a password on Sumomo, the first thing he tries to set it as is his last name...which is immediately rejected because it's so easy. Then he changes it to Chobits, and Sumomo even suggests that he uses a mix of hiragana and katakana (and English letters and numbers, but he doesn't use any of those). | |

The password for accessing Eva-02's "beast mode" in Rebuild of Evangelion—"za beasto"—isn't all too creative, either. It seems to use voice recognition. Though there are two voice commands before you enter the code specifically for this mode. It's doubtful the other pilots are even aware of inverting controls or a backdoor code to an EVA so at least it has some level of security. | |

Another strip seems to avert this trope. A group of mobsters is reviewing the location of their new headquarters—455 Elm Street—which wouldn't be easy to guess. They then decide to repeat this information "about a hundred times so there'll be no screw-ups." Unfortunately, they're having the conversation in an exotic pet shop... full of parrots. | |

In The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Password", Richard, not being influenced at all by Nicole to do so, places a password on Gumball and Darwin's computer to limit their usage. This is initially subverted when Gumball and Darwin's first (obvious) guess of "password" fails, but a Double Subversion occurs once it's revealed that that was the password Richard chose—Anais then changed the password to her own name in order to cause Richard and Nicole to argue with Gumball and Darwin over who their favourite child is, therefore allowing her to keep the computer to herself. | |

When new Tallest Xia and Vero track down the current holder, it turns out that the password is... "password". This leads to a brief Who's on First? gag until they manage to work it out. | |

Batman & Robin: Alfred protects a CD-ROM (containing Batman and Robin's secret identities, the location of the Batcave, and other such trivial little stuff) with the password "Peg", which is too short, both a dictionary word and the name of a relative's (his sister-in-law), and written on an autographed photo right on his desk. This enables another character to easily access the disk. Admittedly, the disk was intended to be accessed by Alfred's brother (as designated heir to Alfred's position), and it's hinted that Alfred expected Barbara to disobey his request to leave the disk alone but really... | |

When former 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar was arrested for possession of child pornography in 2021, one of the details to come out was that his passwords were almost all the same, and just a series of numbers representing his birthday. This made it very easy for law enforcement to access his files.note And was ultimately used against him in court, as his legal defense was that you couldn't prove that the partition where the illegal material was hidden wasn't the invention of someone else with access to his computer, except the password for it was the one he used for everything else. | |

Maria no Danzai: Inverted via exploitation of Exact Words: Maria puts Kowase inside a Drowning Pit and tells him that the key to his freedom lies in the number that represents "his greatest sin". Kowase quickly guesses that she's talking about Kiritaka's death and prepares to input the date in the cuff holding him in place... only to realize to his horror that he can't remember the date. The Exact Words element comes from the fact that not only does Maria never confirm that Kowase's interpretation of her hint was correct, but the real password is the date of Kowase's birth date. Maria considers Kowase's very existence to be his greatest sin, something which he would've never dared to guess. | |

And when he finally opens it... there's another door behind it, after which he apparently gives up. Later on it's revealed said door had the password "OPEN". | |

In Bloom Into You, during the school play, Touko's character, a high school girl who has lost her memory, tries to get into her cell phone in order to find some clue as to what sort of person she was. She first tries her birthday, August 21, but that fails, and then tries two other dates that are important to her- the sports festival on June 19 and Christmas Evenote Each date corresponds to a person close to her. Her friend from school mentioned the date of the sports festival, June 19 is her younger brother's birthday and she spent Christmas with her girlfriend- but those don't work, either. She then adds the three numbers together and gets in. In the anime, the original version of the play's ending has Touko's character access her phone by entering her girlfriend's birthday as the password. | |

In Clear and Present Danger, a CIA hacker is given the assignment of cracking a person's password. The cryptanalyst decides to brute-force the password, starting by spamming birthdays of the murdered family it belonged to. Ryan and his friend start to leave to get a cup of coffee, figuring it'll take a while, but as they get to the door the cryptanalyst hollers that he got it open. Wife's month, daughter's day, son's year. Not too bad for this trope, but still only six digits. He guesses that the Deputy Head of the C.I.A's PIN is his birthday. Averted when he asks for help guessing Ritter's password, "We're way beyond birthdays now" |

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, the three Extendeds have "Block Words" which their handlers are supposed to use to subdue them if they get out of control...except that instead of pacifying them, it just makes them go into a terrified panic. However, their programmers chose to use common, everyday words for the Block Words: Stella's is "die", Auel's is "mother", and Sting'snote According to Word of God, since it never came up in the show is "dream". The stupidity of this setup is demonstrated in one episode where Auel gets triggered and raves "Mother's gonna die!", which in turn sets off Stella. | |

Interestingly, the password in the Japanese version is a tiny bit harder—since, according to Kaiba's logic, the Duelist Kingdom is a metaphorical prison island from which none can exit, the password is a reference to that—"Alcatraz". | |

In the FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman episode "Scat Cat, Scat!" Ruff chooses this as his password to his security system. He actually has trouble remembering it. In the Humble Media Genius video "Privacy and You" Ruff chose this word as his password for his phone. Grandma Ruffman's response is to pour water on his head and reprimand him of what a secret password is. |

In Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, the ancient Egyptian tablet has the added ability to open a portal to the underworld and summon an army of demons if you punch in... the value of Pi, to about eight decimal places. The tablet isn't a computer, obviously, but the riddle to get the password is written right on the front. Something of a subversion, as not many people can remember that entire sequence. Note that the old Egyptians used the approximation of 256/81 for Pi, which would be about 3.16... | |

Used in Gold Digger, by Gina Diggers. User: Password, Pass: User. Even Gina couldn't figure it out, since she couldn't remember WHAT stupid thing she did! Gina Diggers continued the poor passwords with her personal laptop's password "Studpants", which for Gina is no surprise at all—and caused trouble when one of her sister Brianna's AIs did get access to it. To make matters worse for Gina's precious computer security, two other characters share much of her memories (sorta three, but it's hard to imagine a password that would keep out a time traveling future self) and would have an extra-easy time guessing. | |

Kuroki becomes suspicious that Azami is cheating on him, he later tries several passwords on her phone, including her birthday, his own birthday and their wedding anniversary; however, none of them work. Kuroki instantly thinks of Tachibana, who is surprisingly familiar with his house, so he decides to try his birthday on Azami's phone, causing it to open, confirming their affair. |

In the South Park episode "Super Fun Time," the kids take a field trip to a pioneer village set in 1864. In a parody of Die Hard, some criminals arrive and take everyone hostage. The crooks want to use a back entrance to escape, but cannot guess the four-digit code on the locked door...which turns out to be "1864," which has been repeatedly stated by every employee. One of the central jokes of the episode is that none of the workers will reveal the password under any circumstance because they're so committed to their roles that they won't acknowledge any technology beyond 1864. It takes Stan assuming a Paper-Thin Disguise to get them to give it up. | |

In Casino Royale (2006), Bond uses the numbers corresponding to "Vesper" as a password — the name of the woman he's got on his side. And the bad guys were still unable to guess it, trying to torture it out of him! He likely got the idea from when he was trying to figure out what the word "ELLIPSIS" meant. He thought it was a name of some operation, but it turned out to be the letters corresponding to the number code on a door at the airport. Go figure. This one was somewhat justified as it was a simple door lock. |

In Watchmen, Nite Owl correctly guesses Ozymandias's password: "Ramses II", the pharaoh of which "Ozymandias" is the Greek name. This is a commonly-used Real Life teaching example of how not to choose a password. The program even helpfully tells him when he enters an incomplete password, allowing him to work out the rest. However, Ozymandius wanted them to guess the password and find his secret lair to complete his grand scheme so that they wouldn't be anywhere near civilization when the Depopulation Bomb goes off. | |

Ace Attorney A variation: Manfred von Karma set his PIN to 0001, in his own words, "Because I'm number one!", which he announces to the entire courtroom to make a point. (Then again, who would try to steal from Manfred von Karma?) Damon Gant's police ID is apparently 7777777. It's also the password to the safe where he keeps the missing SL-9 evidence, his means of blackmailing Lana into cooperating so that her sister won't be framed. In the first Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game, the owner of the boat rental shop, Yanni Yogi, witness and accused of the DL-6 incident, set his safe combination to "1228", which directly corresponds to December 28th, the date the DL-6 incident happened. Not made better at all by the fact that he taught his pet parrot, who is located just next to the safe, to recite the number when asked. In Spirit of Justice, the password to Inga's safe in his study is his daughter's birthday, which is not helped by the fact that it falls on Christmas Eve. Inside are several mementos relating to his daughter as well as his plans to assassinate his own wife in a coup d'etat. |

In National Treasure, Abigail's password to enter the National Archive vaults is "VALLEYFORGE". (That's Fridge Logic for you...) Played with in that it's not something Ben and Riley are just able to guess. They first have to coat her fingers in invisible ink to figure out which keys she pressed, then Riley runs the letters through an anagram generator to produce likely combinations, which fails to account for 'L' and 'E' being used twice. Ben only guesses it because he's a TV Genius and one of the combinations is similar, which leads to his epiphany. | |

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: lightly downplayed in "Aftermath". Cate makes several attempts to crack Hiroshi's safe by inputting the birthdays of herself and other people close to him. Ultimately, the real passcode is found by mixing and matching the days and months in Cate's, Kentaro's and their respective mothers' birthdays — once Cate applies this logic, she gets the right mix-and-match of the four birthdays on the first try. | |

In MegaMan NT Warrior (RockMan.EXE), the cyber door to the room with MegaMan's "frame" in it had a single-digit password (looked to be "2"). Like the word "password," it's a good and bad password at the same time. | |

Justified in The Departed. The password to a file about an undercover police operation is the first and last name of the cop that is undercover. Since if anybody who wasn't supposed to know the agent's name were to find it out, the operation would be ruined anyway, why not? | |

Wander over Yonder: In "The Prisoner", Peepers accidentally activates the ship's self-destruct button and has to beg and cry to his boss to fix it. Hater, angry that Peepers was unable to bring him Wander (after Peepers bragged about capturing him) remains silent until the last minute where he mumbles his catchphrase: In "The Loose Screw", the password to shut off the self-destruct system on Stella Starbella's spaceship is... "password". |

Parodied in the Brazilian film A Princesa Xuxa e os Trapalhões When the Tramps try to enter Ratan's party, the guard asks for the password. As none of them know the password, the Nameless Knight simply says to his other friends: "I don't know, punch him." Mussaim misunderstands and says exactly that to the guard. Much to their surprise, this really is the password. | |

In Neighbors, the "Lion's Den" (i.e. the storeroom of important stuff like drugs, alcohol, fireworks, and ping pong paddles), is protected by a three-digit password. Mac and Kelly have little trouble guessing that a bunch of fairly immature stoners like Delta Psi would use "420" for the password. | |

Kong: Skull Island sequel graphic novel Skull Island: The Birth of Kong: Dr. Brooks is able to easily guess the password on Aaron's recorder is Gjallarhorn, because Aaron loved hearing his father read him Norse mythology as a child. Justified, as Aaron chose that password so his father alone could unlock the recording if the recorder ever made it to the outside world. | |

In Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, one ship's computer has the password "rutabega", which is bad enough, but it goes the extra mile by openly telling the password to people if they annoy it for long enough. | |

Guess what it is in Swordfish. Go on, guess. The Big Bad is a big movie buff, as evidenced by numerous references he makes to various classics through the film, so it was probably supposed to be like that. The German and Brazilian titles are even "Password: Swordfish". | |
