Fjalëkalim

Fjalëkalim is the Albanian term for a password, a secret string used to verify a user’s identity in digital systems. It functions as a credential to access accounts, devices, and online services, typically required in combination with a username or other identifier.

The term is formed from fjalë, meaning "word," and kalim, meaning "pass" or "passage." It is widely used in Albanian-speaking contexts in both everyday technology use and formal IT settings, including websites, apps, and corporate networks.

Security and best practices regarding fjalëkalime emphasize uniqueness, length, and complexity. A strong fjalëkalim should be distinct for each account and use a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid personal information and common words, and consider using a passphrase that is easy to remember but hard to guess. Password managers are recommended to generate and store complex fjalëkalime securely. Enable two-factor authentication when available, and avoid sharing passwords or reusing them across multiple services. If a breach is suspected, change the fjalëkalim promptly and review account activity.

From a technical perspective, many systems protect fjalëkalime by hashing them with a salt before storage, rather than keeping plain text. Users are generally encouraged to adopt strong, unique fjalëkalime and to rely on organizational policies that enforce minimum length, complexity, and rate-limiting to reduce the risk of credential compromise.
