Not in the USA, but my password is my unique key that in cryptic my data, so therefore an FBI or any other agency is not allowed to pass it even if they could, no? As I’m the person who rode this password and therefore am the copyright holder of that password.
What are you talking about?
Courts decide what a creative work is, not your personal attestation. Courts will not decide that your password is a creative work, in pretty much any context. You can't copyright a password.
Using the hash of my artwork as my password for encryption lmfao
Only if the FBI is using rainbow tables of artworks to decrypt your hash I think. /s
As longe as you don’t do crimes …
Is the police allowed to enter your house when needed by law?
Besides this, you are probably replying the wrong post.
You might be thinking of the password vs fingerprint phone unlock. Courts decided that while your fingerprint could be compelled, you couldn't be compelled to reveal your password as that was private knowledge. That isn't due to copyright though, it's a 5th Amendment issue here in the US (The Fifth Amendment grants anyone in the U.S. the right to remain silent, which includes the right to not turn over information that could incriminate them in a crime. These days, those protections extend to the passcodes that only a device owner knows).
