Passwords

A password is a secret word or phrase that is used to gain admission to something.

It is usually a a string of characters (lower, upper, or combinations of both), numbers, and/or special characters that allows access to a computer or system.

Sometimes, an individual may enter a password not realizing the CAPS LOCK is turned on (with intended password in lower case); causing a failed entry.
