HTML - Password
The password fields are a special category of the input tag. Still, writing them
is as simple as writing a normal text field.
<input type="password" size="5" maxlength="5" /> <input type="password" size="10" maxlength="10" /> |

And the result is a field in which the text is hidden under asterisks, stars squares or black circles, this depending on the browser's interpretation.

Password fields in HTML - Note
As you can see, there is no big difference between the structure of a normal text layer and the structure of a field that contains a password.
It must be mentioned that these password fields are not encrypted, and using
them without any safety measures as it was presented above is not recommended.
Encrypting these fields is done with another programming languages such as php or JavaScript.
