→Video games: +Duel Monsters Saikyo Card Battle
{{Show card image|Blue-Eyes White Dragon|caption="[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", with its password, 89631139, visible in the lower-left corner of the card.}}
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 two ("[[Dark Magician]]" and "[[Polymerization]]" ("Dark Magician" has an [[Dark Magician (Arkana)|Arkana version]], and "[[Polymerization]]" has an [[Polymerization (alternate password)|alternate passwordartwork]] version, both with [[Alternate password|different passwords]] from their main versions). Because of this consistency, passwords can be useful for identifying cards.
<!-- TODO move most of the VG stuff here down to a dedicated "Video games" section with the current VG-related sections as subsections -->
Passwords, while serving no real purpose in the ''OCG''/''TCG'', are used in some video games. 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 all of the game's [[List of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses cards|854 cards]] have a password, though 120 of them are [[#Unusable The Duelists of the Roses passwords|unusable]].
Several video games use passwords for things [[#Non-card passwords|other than unlocking cards]]; for example, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories]]'' has passwords that unlock Stage 5 characters, a password that makes Grandpa give the player an extra card after every Duel, and a password to immediately view the credits. ''Dark Duel Stories'' also has [[#Unusable Dark Duel Stories passwords|106 unusable card passwords]] which produce a custom error message when entered; several of these passwords have never been associated with cards in the ''OCG''/''TCG'' or in other video games.

}}
A number of cards have been printed in the ''[[OCG]]'' and ''[[TCG]]'' without a password. Many Almost all of these cards had already have passwords in various early video games, and have often most been reprinted with their passwords later on. [[Sphere Mode]] appeared in ''[[Reshef of Destruction]]'', and is the only card among the 800 to not have a password. Only two cards which made their first appearance in any game media after 2003 specifically do not have a password. Very few legal cards (7) do not have a password at all. All but one of them are either [[DIVINE]]-attribute (2), or are the original [[Normal Monster]] counterparts of early [[Ritual Monsters]] (4). Only one such card has a [[TCG]] release, and the four Normal counterparts are one-of-a-kind cards unavailable to the general public. All illegal cards do not have a password at all, except for one Korean-language print.
[[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]].
