I'm one of the German translators and we had/have similar problems:
if I'm not mistaken `Contraseña' means `password' which one might think
of being only a single word (same as `Passwort' in German). That's why I
like `passphrase', because it describes better what we want to have: a
long, easy to remember, sentence.
So, in case for German, we used `Passphrase' (although it is a loan
word) as it is more precise and prevents confusion (or harm, in case
someone uses only a single easy to guess word).
You might also look, how cryptography related projects/blogs/wikis/...
translate it. For example
https://www.debian.org/devel/passwordlessssh.es.html
uses
'Puede usar ssh-agent(1) y ssh-add(1) para escribir la frase clave..."
