I don't consider a password to be a statement / testimony anymore than I consider a physical key or padlock combination to be a statement / testimony, but that's just me. I suppose you could argue it but it enters the realm of a lawyerly two-step and leaves the realm of common sense at that point IMO. Otherwise let's just have every criminal in the world put their evidence on encrypted hard drives and then plead the 5th and see how well ole lady justice does with the strict interpretation from that point.
