When you and Yinlin find the secret door protected by a password, Yinlin suggests that you should look for hidden clues. It’s a rather vague instruction since you can’t interact with anything inside this cave… But notice that there are a lot of flowers here.

Would you like to solve the Wuthering Waves password puzzle on your own? Then here’s a hint: take a good look at the purple flowers.

If you need more help, here’s how to solve the Wuthering Waves password puzzle: use your Sensor (utility skill) to reveal hidden clues inside the cave. See how the purple flowers begin to sparkle? If you stand in front of the cave entrance, you’ll see four sparkly purple flower bushes from left to right: count the number of plants in each group, then enter the numbers in the password device.

If you’d just like to know the puzzle solution, here’s the correct Wuthering Waves password: 4123. Walk to the small device on the stone wall and enter this number. This will open the secret door.

That’s how you enter the correct password in Wuthering Waves. You’re free to continue Yinlin’s Companion Story and finish the quest.
