Why is it feminine?

Senha is feminine because it derives from the Latin "signa" (plural of "signum," meaning sign or signal). In Portuguese, words ending in "-a" are typically feminine, and "senha" retained this feminine gender through its evolution from Latin. The word originally referred to a watchword or signal used by sentries.
