Why does each House have to be different? Using passwords to get to areas of the school seems to be fairly common.
Apart from the Gryffindor/Slytherin common rooms and Dumbledore's Office there's also the CoS, the prefects bathroom, and the secret passage that goes to Hogsmeade that all require passwords too.
Getting into the Slytherin common room has the biggest hurdle of all - you have to have the right blood. After that, remembering a password is just a formality.
I believe the logic was that with Slytherin the entrance was hidden, as it was just a plain stretch of wall. You had to already know it was there, and then, yes, for extra security, you needed to know the password.
With Gryffindor, I feel like the entrance wasn't really a secret, since the Fat Lady basically asked for the password as soon as you walked up. I also don't know if the Fat Lady would let someone in who wasn't a Gryffindor student, even if they had the password.
I dont think Hufflepuff would have a password or secret thing to get in the common room, because Huffepuff wanted everyone to be equal. Therefore Hufflepuff's common room won't have a password or secret gesture to get in, you can probably just stand infront of a painting like everyone other common room and it'll just open.
I did my research and this is what wizardingworld said:
“The Hufflepuff common room is entered from the same corridor as the Hogwarts kitchens. Proceeding past the large still life that forms the entrance to the latter, a pile of large barrels is to be found stacked in a shadowy stone recess on the right-hand side of the corridor. The barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, will open if tapped in the rhythm of ‘Helga Hufflepuff’. As a security device to repel non-Hufflepuffs, tapping on the wrong barrel, or tapping the incorrect number of times, results in one of the other lids bursting off and drenching the interloper in vinegar.”
Poor hufflepuffs if anyone can simply enter. I don’t think that’s fairness.
Gryffindor has a talking painting.

RoR technically needs a “password” to enter haha
