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...?
