Well, probably! But it hasn't actually been proven yet that pi is a "normal number" [0], though most mathematicians think it must be.

That's a stronger claim anyhow. We'd merely need Pi to be a rich number, ... which hasn't been proven either.

It's not necessary that pi be normal in order for it to contain every possible sequence. Sufficient, but not necessary.
If the OP is anything like me, then they have no trust in number theory researchers and deliberately choose passwords like "141592" so they can be sure
