* In Creator/MoringMark's comics on ''[[Webcomic/MoringMarkTOHComics The Owl House]]'', [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/17yxscp/passphrase/ Amity offers to give some kids a tour of her lab]]. She tries to whisper the voice activated password to the lock, but it keeps on asking her to speak louder, eventually resulting in her having to yell "I love my fluffy otter girlfriend!" in front of the kids.

* Inverted in ''Literature/HeavenOfficialsBlessingTianGuanCiFu'' when Qi Rong sets the password to the ghost fires trapping the human prisoners in one of his {{Cannibal Larder}}s to "Dog-Fucked Xie Lian" which isn't embarrassing at all for Qi Rong, but is very embarrassing for Xie Lian and Hua Cheng who are trying to rescue the prisoners.

* In ''Literature/SpocksWorld'', McCoy protects his files with a dramatic passphrase that he's chagrined to have to recite in front of others: "If blood be the price of admiralty, Lord God we ha' paid it full". The keeper of the files sweetly refuses to release them without the phrase, purely to twit him.

--> '''Numbuh 362:''' Supreme Leader authorization password: brit1luver362.

* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' reveals that the large, muscular Sgt. Jefford's password is "yogurt", because [[CatchPhrase Terry]] ''[[CatchPhrase loves]]'' [[CatchPhrase yogurt]].

* ''LightNovel/CombatantsWillBeDispatched'': When Six and Alice reboot Grace Kingdom's rainmaking device, Six ''immediately'' sets the password to "Dick Festival" just so he can watch an embarrassed Princess Tillis say it in public. Alice points out that since any member of the royal family can use the device, the king will probably be using it too. Sure enough, in volume 2, the king runs away because he'd rather the drought continue than say it in public.

* ''Series/IClaudius'': Emperor Caligula makes the head of his Praetorian Guard use the password "Give us a kiss", which he thinks is quite amusing. The humiliated man gets his revenge by joining the plot to have him assassinated.

** Rhodey spends most of ''Film/IronMan3'' trying to defend his armor's rebranding by the US government from "War Machine" to "Iron Patriot". Then when Tony presses him for his password to do some hacking, he admits it's "WARMACHINEROX". The terrorists Rhodey is holding up at the time laugh at him until he points a bigger gun at them.

* Emperor [[TheCaligula Caligula]] would make his Praetorians give him a humiliating passcode every day (one of them was "[[GagPenis priapus]]"). This is one of the reasons he was assassinated by them.

* During [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6205062/1/Operation-OPPOSITE Operation: OPPOSITE]], Numbuh 362 needs to override the defense systems in the moonbase in order to defeat her Negaverse counterpart. After typing in the override a few times doesn't work, the computer reveals she has to say the password out loud:

** An inversion happens in ''Film/GoldenEye''; genius hacker Boris is constantly using sexual remarks towards a woman's anatomy for all his passwords and isn't ashamed to let others know it -- what is right in front of you and open very large doors? ([[spoiler:"KNOCKERS"]] Later in the movie, Natalya gets an opportunity to trace Boris's location because he's online backing up his files, but she can't figure out the current password -- "You sit on this, but can't take it with you." Natalya tries every embarrassing word she can think of for a woman's butt. Stumped, she tell Bond about it, and he replies with [[spoiler:"CHAIR"]]. Natalya is embarrassed that she didn't think of that.

** Rhodey spends most of ''Film/IronMan3'' trying to defend his armor's rebranding from "War Machine" to "Iron Patriot". Then when Tony presses him for his password to do some hacking, he admits it's "WARMACHINEROX". The terrorists Rhodey is holding up at the time laugh at him until he points a bigger gun at them.
