The trendy term in this space these days is Multi Factor Authentication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication , in particular a subset known as Two Factor Authentication aka 2FA.

In your case, a combination of user name plus password is likely considered 1FA, so just a password might be 0.5FA ;)
