* HomeGame: About a billion -- Creator/MiltonBradley released one annually from 1962 all the way to 1986; there were a few variants, including an ''Educational'' edition and a ''Fine'' edition, which had better quality materials and included materials for the Lightning Round (which began to be included in the normal version starting in 1982). ''Plus'' received three from 1979-81, and ''Super'' received a computer game from [=GameTek=] in 1988 (an adaptation with speech abilities was planned for release on the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] in 1990, but got cancelled along with the show); starting in 1997 and continuing to 2003 Endless Games released their own adaptation based on the classic MB version, along with an adaptation of ''Million-Dollar'' in 2008.

* PressXToDie: Anyone who ever gave the password as a clue. This may or may not be justified as a case of IgnoreTheDisability, as the word is right in front of them, and that's probably the same reason that Bert Convy himself did it more than once.

* NintendoHard:
** The words used in the ''Password All-Stars'' and the short-lived version of ''Password'' that came immediately after it. Words in the ''All-Star'' championship game included "Chlorophyll", "Artillery", "Emancipate", "Ferocious", "Budget", and "Abracadabra". [[spoiler: '''ALL''' of these words were solved, the latter three '''with one clue.''']]
** The Ca$hword in ''Super''.
** The time limits and/or word difficulty on ''Million-Dollar'', coupled with the inane "clue-response-clue" rule (see YMMV tab) and forcing each half-hour to be self-contained, meant there was no way anybody was going to win the Million.

Ludden returned as host of [[Creator/AmericanBroadcasting ABC]]'s 1971-75 {{revival}}, which went through two {{theme tune}}s and two sets. The changes were made for ''Password All-Stars'' (November 1974 to February 1975), after which members of the public were once again allowed to compete.
