Is the WEP key the same that we user wifi password?

I have read about WEP authentication, it says that it protects data, it encrypts information with the same key on both sides (AP and client), if both encryptions are the same, then the key is authenticated, so my question here is .... that key is the same that we use to authenticate clients? I mean, is that the wifi password for users? Or is that another different key that is only used for encryption?

WEP authentication should not be used as it is not secure. Should be using WPA2 or WPA3
