Taking to his TikTok account, Griswold posted the video which has now been viewed over 1.5 million times.
In response to a user’s question asking, “Which one of you is the password child,” he explained the phenomenon to his viewers.
“Okay, so the password child is like when you’re trying to watch your parent’s Netflix, but it’s logged out.

“So then you ask ‘what’s the password’ and then they say your name or one of your sibling’s names, and then whose ever name that is, is the favorite child.”
Many people took to the comments to share their thoughts on the concept as well as their own experiences.
One person said: “I’m an only child and I’m not even the password child…”
