Pregunta facil, ¿verdad?
Supongamos que todos somos programadores de computadoras y le estamos pidiendo al usuario esta información

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Pablo Cruz

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Marcelo Viera (asker) Apr 25, 2021:
El problema que le veo a "Introduzca" es que suena muy formal, es muy extensa (10 caracteres) y no suena "natural".
Ingresar, escribir, digitar son alternativas más naturales.
Según RAE digitar se utiliza como alternativa en 5 países (tal vez sean más)
digitar

1. tr. Chile, El Salv., Hond., R. Dom. y Ur. Incorporar datos a una computadora u otro dispositivo electrónico utilizando el teclado.

En Portugués también se utiliza "digitar"
2. intr. Chile y Ur. Manejar los dedos con destreza, especialmente al hacer funcionar un instrumento provisto de teclas o cuerdas.

Ingresa la contraseña

La versión en infinitivo también se me vino a la cabeza "ingresar contraseña", además de introduzca la contraseña. En el área que trabajo los botones suelen ir en infinitivo y algunas interfaces de usuario en imperativo.
Saludos!

escriba su contraseña

Una opción más.
Escribir (en infinitivo o conjugado) es una alternativa muy recomendada por UX writers para estos contextos por ser claro y natural.
No se recomienda "ingresar" por ser un verbo intransitivo; el uso transitivo se limita a contextos específicos (según el DLE de la RAE).
