mot de passe

Direct answer

Contextual notes

• In everyday French, mot de passe literally means a secret word used to identify or authorize someone, i.e., a password.

• In German translations, “mot de passe” is most often rendered as “Kennwort” or “Passwort” in modern contexts, with “Erkennungswort” as a more formal or less common alternative.

• When translating for security or tech contexts, use the standard term from the target language: English: password; German: Passwort or Kennwort.

If you’d like, specify the exact language pair and context (tech login, security question, etc.) for a precise translation.
