How To Create A Password Text Field For A Form

A text field will accept any type of alphanumeric text entry.

A password text field hides the entered data behind asterisks to help prevent other people seeing what is being entered.

<input type="password" name="textfield">

Note that passwords sent to a web server using the password field are not encrypted. This means that the transferred data can be intercepted and read as alphanumeric text. Because of this, you must always provide encryption for any data you need to keep secure.
