How do we take password input in HTML forms?


We use the <input> tag by assigning password to the type attribute, to take a password input in HTML form. It hides the character as soon as a we enter the characters of the password set. This is also a single-line text input.

Syntax

<form>
   <input type="password" name="name… " value=" ">Male
</form>

Example 1

An example to implement how to take a password input in HTML is as follows −

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="description" content="meta tag in the web document"> <meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS"> <meta name="author" content="lokesh"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> </head> <p>Branch</p> <form> <input type="password" id="CSE" name="Branch" value="CSE" > <label for="CSE">Enter password</label> <br> <input type="password" name="Branch" value="IT" > <label for="CSE">Re-enter password</label> </form> </body> </html>
