passcode

/pˈæskoʊd/ noun

A string of characters used for authentication on a digital device.

Word Origin Pass comes from Latin passus 'step' — a pass is a step through a barrier. Code comes from Latin codex, originally a wooden block, then a book of laws, then any systematic set of symbols. A passcode is literally a 'step-code,' the sequence that lets you step through security. The same roots give us passport (a document for stepping through ports) and codify (to make into a code).

noun A string of characters used for authentication on a digital device. countable
