You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

    Emojis are interpreted and stored as Unicode codes like U+1F6D2. Sometimes you might be able to do something like :bed: but those are more for human convenience and up to the individual application to handle or not, when it gets stored it’ll be converted to its corresponding Unicode

    A series of emojis, once made into their Unicode would actually serve as a fairly decent password, if it’s of sufficient length.

    The irony is if it was actually stored as dictionary words it would actually end up being a very secure password, see XKCD 936
