password
A group of letters, numbers or images given by a game for a specific purpose. Most passwords let players return to a later part of a game without having to play through the earlier parts again. Using password systems allowed game makers to let players save their place in a game without using a pricier battery backup method. Passwords mostly disappeared once system-based storage solutions became the norm for consoles and portable systems.
