A
A "password" input field is defined as <input type="password" .../>.
A "password" input field can be used to create an input field to allow viewers
to enter text strings or numbers without showing the entered in clear text.
A "password" input field is ideal for password inputting.
There are other attributes you may need to use for a "password" input field:
- name="fieldName" - Specifies the name of this field.
- value="defaultValue" - Specifies a default value for this field.
- size="number" - Specifies the size of the input box in number of characters.
- maxlength="number" - Specifies the maximum length of the input data.
Here is a tutorial example with two password input fields:
