пароль (A string of characters used for authentication on a digital device. Syn: password. WT Alexander Demidov); пароль доступа (password; passcode. The latter is a neologism created in an effort to keep up with modern technology. In the computer age, a password is often not a word at all; instead, it’s merely a combination of characters (letters and numbers). Hence the term passcode, born in the early 1990s. Like many other neologisms, this one may be short-lived: password isn’t likely to be bumped from the language. Indeed, those who object to a password that consists of the digits in one’s birthdate, for example, are probably being too literal. GMAU Alexander Demidov) |
