"Losung" is indeed something like "animal's piss" in German hunter's slang, which has some unique words, and bizarre redefinitions of common words.

Losung is also (not very often) used for something roughly like a motto or slogan. It is not used for password, except in the military (when a guard says to you "Die Losung!" you better know it). Don't know about the scripture meaning.

Its meaning does not overlap with "Lf6sung" (solution, as in a riddle or a chemical) as far as I know.
