Words that rhyme with Password
The phonetic facts first: password is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the rounded /ษหr/, and the line closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the strict-rhyme column is bare, the family column is blank, the assonance count climbs into the thousands. Take the lyric role separately and it's a plain-speech anchor. Modern songwriting on this word is an assonance-first practice.

Why password rhymes the way it does
Pull password apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the back /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 26, assonance 6,704, and consonance 2. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Password is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
