Looks to me like you forgot to tell grep /where/ to search:

     # wait for input via stdin
$ grep -rl "Save with password" > password_code.txt

     # search starting from "this" directory
$ grep -rl "Save with password" . > password_code.txt

The latter should yield results of interest to you.

Git might return results a bit faster than a blanket search of 
everything (e.g. non-source files, uncompressed versions of files in 
Git, etc.):

$ git grep "Save with password"
