- "Wie lautet das Kennwort?"

Lauten isn't a very common verb, and it's not very easy to translate it directly into English. Literally the sentence is something like 'How does the password go?'. There are only a couple of other times I have come across the verb - 'Wie lautet die Addresse?' (What's the address) 'Der Brief lautet, dass...' (The letter says that...).
