not at all. are you expected to remember it? would it even be possible to memorize for most? not even close to the same thing, passwords have very low entropy which causes all their problems

A password is literally just:

secret data, typically a string of characters, usually used to confirm a user’s identity

A secret key or passcode meets that definition 🤦 You’re most definitely on poor standing here.

A very long password that no one can remember (ie. A key) is still a password. Also are you unaware of the existence of password managers and random password generation…?
