Cultural Tip
In French the tu‑imperative of -er verbs keeps the final -s (saisis) to keep the pronunciation smooth before a vowel. While 'saisir' is perfectly correct, everyday speakers often prefer the more casual 'entre' or 'tape' when talking about typing a password. Also, remember that Wi‑Fi is masculine, so you can say 'le Wi‑Fi' or simply 'le mot de passe Wi‑Fi'.
