We had this discussion years ago.  Password is plainly wrong because it
leads users to enter just one word.  And well a couple of years ago we
replaced the 10 years old translation "Mantra" by "Passphrase" because
we all agreed that this technical term can't be avoided (cf. PIN).

"auf" is correct German in the field of IT; there are other examples
like "anlisten".

There is no translation for it.

No.  That is a technical term.  We won't translate this.  Look at old
IBM manuals to see how weird such translations can get.

Timeout is als a technical term.
