Editing Password

A '''password''' is the eight-digit number printed in the bottom-left corner on most ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' cards (certain cards, such as "[[Gate Guardian]]", [[#Cards printed without a password|do not have a password]], and some cards instead have [[limitation text]] in this spot). The password for a card is always the same in all languages and all prints of that card, including [[alternate artwork]] versions, except for "[[Dark Magician]]" and "[[Polymerization]]" ("Dark Magician" has an [[Dark Magician (Arkana)|Arkana version]], and "Polymerization" has a "[[Polymerization (Fusion)|Fusion]]" version, both with different passwords from their main versions). Because of this consistency, passwords can be useful for identifying cards.

Passwords, while serving no real purpose in the ''OCG''/''TCG'', are used in some video games (the video games in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (video game series)|Duel Monsters]]'', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! True Duel Monsters|True Duel Monsters]]'', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship|World Championship]]'', and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force|Tag Force]]'' (except for ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Tag Force Special|ARC-V Tag Force Special]]'') series all use passwords; while most of the games use the numeric passwords as printed on ''OCG''/''TCG'' cards, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (video game)|Duel Monsters I]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses]]'' use their own passwords). By entering a card's password (usually in a "Password" screen), the player may obtain that card for their virtual collection. This usually has various restrictions. In most games, this can only be done once per card. In some games the player will be given the card for free, while in others the player must also pay in-game currency. In later games, players must already have the card in their card list, either by owning at least one copy of it, or by owning most of the other cards in the set the desired card is from.

''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'' and ''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses'' use their own passwords for cards. ''Duel Monsters'' has [[#Duel Monsters passwords|nine passwords]], spelled with kana and used to unlock nine of the 15 secret monsters; each password is the name of a staff member who worked on the game or on the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]] at [[Shueisha]] at the time. In ''The Duelists of the Roses'', the passwords are mostly alphanumeric, and most of the game's [[List of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses cards|854 cards]] have a password.

Passwords are not featured in the anime or the manga, or in other real-life games such as ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Bandai's Official Card Game]]'', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters]]'', or [[Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters|Konami's ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'']].

The card with the lowest-value password is currently "{{ #show: {{ #vardefineecho: card | {{ #ask: [[Password::+]][[Class 1::Official]] |sort=Password |order=asc |limit=1 |link=none |searchlabel= }} }} |?English name (linked) }}" ({{ #show: {{ #var: card }} |?Password }}), and the card with the highest-value password is currently "{{ #show: {{ #vardefineecho: card | {{ #ask: [[Password::+]][[Class 1::Official]] |sort=Password |order=desc |limit=1 |link=none |searchlabel= }} }} |?English name (linked) }}" ({{ #show: {{ #var: card }} |?Password }})

{{Card query|medium=official|extra_column=Password|extra_label=Password|sort=Password|limit=15}}

{{Show card image|Holactie the Creator of Light|caption="[[Holactie the Creator of Light]]", an example of a card printed without a password.}}

[[Giant Card]] and [[Official Proxy]] prints never have a password, though some of them do have [[limitation text]]; any cards which are only missing a password in Giant Card or Official Proxy prints are not listed here. [[Counter]]s, [[Monster Token|Token]]s, [[Skill Card]]s, and [[Boss Duel]] cards also lack printed passwords, and are also not listed here, though they are members of [[:Category:Cards printed without a password]].

== Unusable ''Dark Duel Stories'' passwords ==

''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories]]'' includes 106 unusable passwords, most of them for cards which are not featured in the game. Entering one of these passwords produces the error message "Can't Record Password! Try a different password." Four of these passwords are for cards which are featured in the game ("[[Wall of Illusion]]", [[Neo the Magic Swordsman]]", "[[Man-Eating Treasure Chest]]", and "[[Sorcerer of the Doomed]]"); these passwords are also listed as usable passwords, and when entered, they award the card to the player. ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelist]]'', the next video game in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (video game series)|''Duel Monsters'' series]], features these four cards and nine others which have unusable passwords in ''Dark Duel Stories''. 22 cards with unusable passwords were not released in the ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' until after the release of ''Dark Duel Stories'' (which was first released in Japan on July 13, 2000); four of the cards ("[[Mimicat]]", 2015; "[[Roulette Spider]]", 2015; "[[Dark Renewal]]", 2014; and "[[Anti-Magic Arrows]]", 2015) were first released over a decade later, and one card ("[[Beckon to Darkness]]") has never been released in the ''OCG''/''TCG''. Nine of the unusable passwords have never been used for cards in the ''OCG''/''TCG'' or in other video games; these passwords have blank rows (other than the password itself) in the below table. The passwords are listed here in the same order in which they appear in the ''Dark Duel Stories'' ROM.
