"They asked for my password. They didn't specify which password."
More like "sorry I couldn't remember the password. I guessed, but I have a bad memory"
This is exactly the reason the government can't force you to give your password in the US. They can't prove that you remember the password.
If you're in this situation, don't say this. You are under no obligation to explain anything, and anything you say will be used against you (and will not be used to defend you). Just shut the fuck up.
